Cannes Palme d'Or winner 'Triangle of Sadness' to arrive in PH cinemas
Triangle of Sadness, the Palme d'Or winning film at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, is set to hit Philippine theaters through exclusive distributor TBA Studios.
Directed by Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund, the film is a satirical piece following fashion model couple Carl and Yaya as they embark on a luxury cruise. Everything appears Instagrammable at first, but a storm starts brewing and the couple ends up stranded on a desert island with a group of billionaires and a cleaning lady. Old hierarchies are turned upside down as the only one with the know-how on survival is the cleaning lady.
At Cannes, Triangle of Sadness garnered an eight-minute standing ovation from critics and audiences during the premiere screening.
Critics also praised the performance of the cast, including Filipino actress Dolly de Leon who played the cleaning lady. Her performance was deemed by Variety's Clayton Davis as "Oscar-worthy."
The film also stars Harris Dickinson, Charlbi Dean, Woody Harrelson, Henrik Dorsin, Zlatko Buric, Iris Berben, Sunnyi Melles, Vicky Berlin, and Oliver Ford Davies.
TBA Studios have yet to announce the film's release date in the Philippines.
