Triangle Of Sadness movie review: Ruben Östlund's absurdist comedy hits the mark with its commentary on money and power

Hindustan Times  

Ruben Östlund is a filmmaker who is keenly interested in the strangeness of human beings. With Triangle Of Sadness, he makes his English-language debut with a dark satire that places two models, Carl and Yaya, far and away from their comfort zone. Triangle Of Sadness then moves to the main set piece, the luxury yacht on which they get a free trip because of Yaya's influencer status. Chapters two and three expose the lie that everyone's equal, like a fashion show boldly proclaims at the beginning of the film. On the yacht, the ship's captain, a Marxist, has a passionate argument with Russian capitalist and businessman Dimitry where he drops a version of Mark Twain's quote stating, never argue with an idiot.
