5 years after his Palme d’or for The Square, could Ruben Östlund win a second trophy? With Without Filter (Triangle of Sadness), the Swedish filmmaker fully plays the provocation card. Tweet review.
Warning, fierce film! After his Palme d’or for The Square in 2017, Ruben Ostlund signs Without Filter, a feature film that lives up to its title (Triangle of Sadness in VO).
The Swedish filmmaker pushes the slider of cynicism even further than in his previous film, in a feature film in three chapters. The central chapter, very provocative (with false airs of Grande Bouffe at times!), should not fail to make people react!
The pitch goes like this: After Fashion Week, Carl and Yaya, a couple of models and influencers, are invited on a yacht for a luxury cruise. While the crew takes great care of the vacationers, the captain refuses to leave his cabin as the famous gala dinner approaches. Events take an unexpected turn and the balance of power is reversed when a storm rises and endangers the comfort of the passengers.
Release: soon.
