Movie #3016 "Triangle of Sadness" (Amazon Prime) This one is nominated for best picture , and probably has the least chance of getting it. Why? Many people will not have seen it, and it is the first time this director's work has been honored with an oscar nomination, and the other couple of films he has done in the recent past, is considered better by most critics. I have seen the other 2-- "The Square," and "Force Majeure" --- where did I see them? At film festivals, and this director is well respected and known for doing "out of the box" type of films. In fact, Will Ferrel and Julia Louise Dreyfuss did an American Version of "Force Majeure" , and although I didn't see it yet, I'm guessing it didn't do well as a comedy because this director finds comedy in tragedy --- dark dark dark humor. He usually takes a big grouping of people --- like the art world, or people at a ski lodge, or a big business dinner, or in this case, a cruise with tons of rich people, and makes fun at their expense. I must warn you that if you are planning to go on a cruise, you might not want to see this one because there ends up to be a lot of vomiting and diarrhea involved.. I don't want to say much more because the best part of seeing this man's work is to try to guess where he will take the story next. His films are always worth discussing after watching, so if you see this one, please make some comments below so we can get even more out of the experience. I would give this 3.8. It was quite the adventure, but not sure why it won the Palm d'Orr at Cannes this year. It isn't a film everyone will like at all.
