Triangle of Sadness directed by Ruben Östlund won the Palme d’or, the top prize at the 75th Cannes Film Festival. In the film starring Woody Harrelson as Thomas, The Captain, models Carl and Yaya are invited for a luxury cruise with a rogues’ gallery of super-rich passengers. At first, all appears Instagrammable. But a storm is brewing, and the cruise ends catastrophically. Carl and Yaya find themselves marooned on a desert island with a group of billionaires and one of the ship’s cleaners. Hierarchy is suddenly flipped upside down, as the housekeeper is the the only one who knows how to fish.
The Grand Prix, the second prize, went to Close directed by Lukas Dhont and Stars at Noon directed by Claire Denis
