  • TRIANGLE of SADNESS

    From Bill Anderson@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 1 20:02:59 2023
    It’s an exceptionally dark comedy that metaphorically explores power
    dynamics in the worlds of the haves and the have nots, the Marxists and the socialists, the males and the females, the privileged and their servants.

    Carl and Yaya, a fashion model couple who are achieving unequal levels of success based on their beauty alone, find themselves enjoying a cruise on a luxury yacht where the other passengers are fabulously wealthy
    industrialists. The yacht’s crew is determined to cater to the passengers’ every whim and despite underlying tensions things go beautifully on this luxurious cruise right up until they don’t.

    Taken at face value this best picture nominated film is almost a horror
    story, but in spite of that it is awfully amusing. I won’t forget this one for a while.

    FWIW the actress who played Yaya, Charlbi Dean, died last August at the age
    of 32 due to sepsis caused by an old injury. I think she was going places.
