Episode 84: Triangle of Sadness & Triangle

Cinema in Context

Triangle named films at sea. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Triangle of Sadness (2022) and Triangle (2009). We begin by discussing Triangle and how the successful the fils works on building the narrative on a small budget. We talk through the time loop logic in Triangle and how the central character is represented throughout. We discuss our reactions to Triangle of Sadness, especially the scatological sequence in the film. We talk about the ethics and experiences of being on a cruise ship. We discuss the various acts and how each contribute to the overall effect of the film. We return to Triangle and discuss the torture of the main character, continue to unpack the time loop and compare to a range of other films.
