‘Triangle of Sadness’ wins Palme d’Or at Cannes Film fest
Al JazeeraA viciously sharp satire about class conflict wins the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Ruben Ostlund’s social satire, Triangle of Sadness, won the Palme d’Or at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, handing Ostlund one of cinema’s most prestigious prizes for the second time. The festival also named Korean star Song Kang Ho best actor for his performance in Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s film, Broker, about a Korean family seeking a home for an abandoned baby. “I’d like to thank all those who appreciate Korean cinema,” said Song, who also starred in Bong Joon Ho’s Palme d’Or winning film Parasite in Cannes three years ago. Last year, the French body horror thriller Titane took the top prize at Cannes, making director Julia Decournau only the second female filmmaker ever to win the Palme.
