Meanwhile, wealth is obscene from practically every angle. Irreverent Swedish satirist Ruben \u00d6stlund gets right up in there, probing the pores of the elitist worlds of supermodels and the mega-rich in \u201cTriangle of Sadness,\u201d which takes its name from a fashion-world term for the deep-V crease that appears between one\u2019s eyebrows with stress or age. Nothing a little Botox can\u2019t fix.<\/p>\n<p>\u00d6stlund\u2019s wickedly funny English-language follow-up to \u201cThe Square\u201d features none of the same characters as his 2017 Palme d\u2019Or winner, but follows much the same tactic of creating deeply uncomfortable situations for people more than comfortable with their privilege. It\u2019s a Bu\u00f1uelian strategy, \u00e0 la \u201cThe Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie,\u201d of which \u00d6stlund has become art cinema\u2019s foremost practitioner. His operating theory here, floated amid arguments about capitalism and Karl Marx, is that beauty itself is a form of currency, albeit an incredibly volatile and fickle one, like crypto, that can crash at any time. To test that premise, \u00d6stlund sends an ultra-elite cruise ship to the bottom of the sea, observing how the survivors handle being marooned on a desert island. There, a Rolex is worth nothing, but it helps to be hot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTriangle\u2019s\u201d appropriately shallow protagonists are <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> influencers Carl and Yaya (essentially, professional selfie-takers who share photos of themselves pretending to enjoy whatever swag they\u2019re offered), played by Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean. The pair can\u2019t seem to decide whether they\u2019re really a couple or just fine with acting like one to gain a few extra followers online. In any case, they bicker like soon-to-be-ex-lovers, which seems as good a definition for their situation as any.<\/p>\n<p>Yaya has been invited for a free ride on an expensive super yacht (the almost-100-meter Christina O, once the prize of Aristotle Onassis). She and Carl are by far the poorest of the passengers: Her card is declined at a restaurant before boarding, while he earns a fraction of what she does, as is normal in the fashion industry. The other guests are drowning in dough \u2014 and are soon to be drowning because of it, since the cruise is an obvious target for a pirate attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u00d6stlund opens the film on land, behind the scenes of a fashion shoot, where a documentary crew introduces a few basic concepts, like the way luxury brands look down on their consumers. In its patently superficial, undeniably absurd focus on looks over substance, this sector makes for an easy target. Still, \u00d6stlund seems to be operating on an early-2000s critique of that sector \u2014 which is fine, but a bit behind the times. Where do influencers fit into this, one wonders? Just when the public thinks it\u2019s figured out the fashion world\u2019s tricks, the industry adapts.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a lot more daring to confront the way these trendsetters and tastemakers are grappling with a public that\u2019s started to tell them what <em>they<\/em> think is beautiful \u2014 basically, all the traits that were once bullied in schoolyards: redheads and freckles, Kardashian curves and people of color, pretty boys and flat-chested girls. In a world of Instagram filters and affordable cosmetic procedures, \u201cperfection\u201d comes easy. Personality, it turns out, is harder to come by.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting that \u00d6stlund cast Dean, who makes no attempt to hide the scar on her abdomen, and Dickinson, who brings a kind of fragile vulnerability to the Abercrombie frat-boy type (having played bi in \u201cBeach Rats\u201d). Throughout the opening act, \u00d6stlund observes these two trying to negotiate their unconventional relationship, bickering over the smallest things. Aboard the cruise, Carl gets jealous when a member of the crew takes off his shirt. Yaya seems turned on by the carpet of hair that covers the man\u2019s chest and back \u2014 the opposite of the depilated Ken-doll aesthetic expected of Carl and his fellow models. He complains to the ship\u2019s chief stew, Paula (Vicki Berlin), and the guy is sent packing.<\/p>\n<p>The first half of \u201cTriangle of Sadness\u201d is constructed mostly of such interactions: scenes in which the characters flex their power relative to one another. Filthy-rich Russian fertilizer magnate Dimitriy (Zlatko Buri\u0107) offers to buy the boat out from under the captain (Woody Harrelson, whose ridiculous character spends much of the film drunk in his cabin), while his wife Vera (Sunnyi Melles) insists, \u201cWe are all equals,\u201d ordering the crew to abandon their responsibilities and join her for a swim. When confronted with such wealth, the word no is not in their vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>Then comes the captain\u2019s dinner, which plays like a Monty Python sketch, as the guests try to slurp oysters while a storm rocks the boat. A woman in a wheelchair screams the same German phrase, like Peter Sellers unable to contain a Nazi salute in \u201cDr. Strangelove.\u201d A sweet elderly couple reveal that their millions were made selling hand grenades (setting up the movie\u2019s most perverse punchline: \u201cOh Winston, isn\u2019t this one of ours?\u201d). A trophy wife nearly drowns when her toilet belches its contents back in her face. It\u2019s all so excessive that the tone of subtle schadenfreude now turns to concern. These elites may be insufferable at times, but no one deserves this. Or what comes next. But testing the limits is what \u00d6stlund does best.<\/p>\n<p>The last third of the film focuses on a subset of the passengers and crew, who wash up on an island and quickly realize that none of them has the skills to last even a few days in the wild. Then a lifeboat arrives with one of the crew, Abigail (Dolly De Leon). On board, she was a mere toilet manager, but Abigail knows how to cook and fish, which makes her the leader of their new makeshift society. Up to this point, the characters have behaved in exaggerated yet recognizable ways, but now, \u00d6stlund pushes them into hypothetical territory, effectively illustrating his own beliefs about human nature.<\/p>\n<p>These castaways have nothing useful to offer, apart from Carl, who\u2019s handsome, which sets up a barter system \u2014 food and shelter for sexual favors \u2014 that audiences wouldn\u2019t stand for if the gender roles were reversed. An hour earlier, Carl was browsing $25,000 engagement rings to offer Yaya. Now, he\u2019s trading back massages for pretzel sticks. It\u2019s funny, but it\u2019s cruel. By the time the film reaches its womp-womp ending, anyone who formed any kind of attachment to this couple will find the words \u201ctriangle of sadness\u201d to be a more than apt description of these characters\u2019 new dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>The thing about \u00d6stlund is that he makes you laugh, but he also makes you think. There\u2019s a meticulous precision to the way he constructs, blocks and executes scenes \u2014 a kind of agonizing unease, amplified by awkward silences or an unwelcome fly buzzing between characters struggling to communicate. First \u201cThe Square,\u201d then \u201cTriangle.\u201d No matter what sphere he tackles, we\u2019re bound to see the world differently.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
