Swede Ruben Östlund has already joined Mexican Alejandro González Iñárritu and Greek Yorgos Lanthimos (The sacrifice of the sacred deer) as paradigms of crack in cinema. There are those who love them and those who defend them. Extremes and excesses are never entirely good, and with The triangle of sadnessÖstlund will once again split the waters as with the square (2017).
Just go as color data that for both movies, the square AND The triangle of sadnessAt 48, Ingmar Bergman’s compatriot has already won two Palme d’Ors. The triangle… is nominated for an Oscar for best picture this year.
It is well said that some directors who make auteur films have, with different images and stories, usually the same thing. Östlund’s concerns go through social inequality and satire on the bourgeoisie, when he doesn’t deal with the excessive and inappropriate shaming of his characters.
