After a successful awards season, “Triangle of Sadness” is one of several films being added to The Criterion Collection this month.
Directed by the irreverent Swedish satirist Ruben Östlund, the film follows two supermodels on a doomed luxury cruise that leaves the pair stranded on a deserted island along with some of their fellow passengers and a Marxist captain.
The film was last year’s Palme d’Or winner and went on to receive nods for best picture, best director and best original screenplay at the 2023 Oscars. “The thing about Östlund is that he makes you laugh, but he also makes you think,” Variety film critic Peter DeBruge wrote in his review. “There’s a meticulous precision to the way he constructs, blocks and executes scenes — a kind of agonizing unease, amplified by awkward silences or an unwelcome fly buzzing between characters struggling to communicate.” The film is available to stream on Hulu but its Criterion release comes with a director-approved 4K digital master of the film and supplemental videos.
