TRIANGLE OF SADNESS
Christina put this on, and we did make it all the way through, although I was ready to bail after five minutes, but I didn't say anthing. I'll spoil the ending, so stop here if you plan on watching it.
It starts out with a lady influencer and her boyfriend having dinner. Then they get on a luxury yacht (she got the trip for free) with very rich people. Pretty much everyone is an asshole. One rich lady forces the crew to "take a swim and enjoy life." That causes dinner to be late during rough seas, and apparently also causes everyone to get food poisoning. (Some humor made from that.) The next day the ship is attacked by pirates and sunk. (Major plot hole there. Why would they sink the ship? How would that make them any money?) A few survivors land on an island, and the only one with any survival skills was a menial worker on the ship but she takes charge and becomes - you guessed it - an asshole too. No one bothers to explore, so after some time, the leader and the influencer wander and randomly find that there is a resort on the island. It ends with the leader about to murder the influencer for finding the resort.
It was super misanthropic. No one was likeable. Should we call that nihilistic too? And they went nuts for this crap at Cannes. It won the Palm d'Or.
