Triangle of Sadness

The Triangle of Sadness one of the movies that are incredibly good but don’t get much public recognition. I had never heard of it before a friend suggested it to me.

It’s set on a cruise for the very rich and the very detached from the real world. Being used to everyone dancing to their tune, their world is turned upside down when a storm hits during a captain’s dinner. The dinner ends with the drunk captain’s recital of socialist philosophy through the ship’s intercom and a seemingly never-ending barrage of guests throwing up that could well have originated from the Family Guy writers room. Funnily, now the crew is in control, both of their bodies and the situation.

The film paints a comic picture of rich people that do very little for the world beyond taking shots for Instagram or producing grenades, but who are useless without the help of underpaid servants around them.
