TRIANGLE of SADNESS

[Bill Anderson]

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.
