Review of Triangle of Sadness (2022) by Mauro_Lanari — 08 Feb 2023

(Mauro Lanari).

Inconclusive except in the two fleeting moments dominated by the soundtrack: during the opening credits with Suicide's "Ghost Rider" (1977), at least until it turns out that it is the sampling on which in 2010 M.I.A. based the song "Born Free" with the famous video clip directed by Roman Gavras rattling off his usual gratuitous violence, and during the upheaval of the yacht captained by Harrelson while expoding "New Noise" (1997), the most famous Refused song. Then the age-old question that afflicts Buñuel and the epigones resurfaces: one can defecate on the establishment and in a single indelible sequence of not even 5 minutes ("Le fantôme de la liberté", 1974), but if then that same establishment showers you with awards (Oscar, Palms, Golden and Silver Lions), it means that the attack was nothing short of unproductive.
