Triangle of Sadness – 6

A self-evidently Northern European film in its discussions of class, capitalism, socialism, gender, race and more class. Not that it’s particularly intellectual or probing. It is, in fact, quite crude and simplistic. And half-again too long, with many scenes that drag and others–such as a forced dip in the ocean by the staff–that could have been done without. What holds it together is the relationship story of two influencers, brilliantly played by Harrison Dickinson and Charlbi Dean, she manipulative and he feckless. Their attraction to each other is just as obvious as their mismatch.
