SPOILER ALERT:<\/strong> Minor plot points for Ruben \u00d6stlund\u2019s \u201cTriangle of Sadness\u201d are discussed below.<\/p>\n

Cannes attendees waiting for David Cronenberg\u2019s \u201cCrimes of the Future\u201d to give the festival a stomach-churning shock got an electrifying surprise with the world premiere of Ruben \u00d6stlund\u2019s latest social satire, \u201cTriangle of Sadness.\u201d The movie earned an uproarious eight-minute standing ovation after a lively screening that found the audience at Cannes\u2019 Palais theater shrieking in horror and delight.<\/p>\n

\u201cTriangle of Sadness\u201d stars \u201cBeach Rats\u201d and \u201cThe Kingsman\u201d actor Harris Dickinson as an aspiring model who gets the chance to vacation aboard a luxury yacht after his influencer girlfriend wins them a free trip. Woody Harrelson plays the yacht\u2019s alcoholic captain. The yacht is full of pretentious and snobby guests who make up the 1%, but they all get their comeuppance courtesy of an extended 15-minute sequence in which a storm leads to an outbreak of seasickness.<\/p>\n

This centerpiece scene earned perhaps the most rowdy reaction from the Cannes audience so far at the 2022 festival. \u00d6stlund draws out the build-up as the boat rocks and the guests are served oysters and elaborate seafood dishes. Eventually all hell breaks loose and eruptions of vomiting and pooping are shown in graphic detail. The audience at the Palais shrieked, covered their eyes and roared with laughter. Three attendees were spotted walking out of the Palais balcony amid the sequence, but everyone else in the crowd responded with approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cTriangle of Sadness\u201d is full of several other moments that had the audience gasping in shock, but it\u2019s best to leave the rest of the film unspoiled. The Cannes crowd reacted with an eight-minute standing ovation that was far louder than the ovations \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d and other films earned so far at the festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a wonderful screening,\u201d Ostlund said when handed a microphone, his comment almost drowned out by the applause. \u201cWhat an ensemble we had. Thank you so much!\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the audience reaction, Variety<\/em>\u2018s Peter Debruge gave \u201cTriangle of Sadness\u201d a strong review, writing, \u201cThere\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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00d6stlund was last at Cannes with \u201cThe Square\u201d in 2017, which won the Palme d\u2019Or. While there are many films left in competition to screen, the reaction to \u201cTriangle of Sadness\u201d hints that it could be a contender for one of the Cannes prizes.<\/p>\n

\u201cTriangle of Sadness\u201d delivered Cannes a dose of shock and awe. Your move, Cronenberg.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
