They say that a good story can be surmised with one sentence. Ruben Östlund's Triangle of Sadness is worth watching without reading anything before the screening. So if you don't want to read the next paragraph, at least read this one sentence. And it goes like this: "An American communist and a Russian capitalist meet on a ship, leading to some unfortunate events...". Sounds good, right?

Even the pacing is intriguing - the movie is divided into a few acts, each ending with a bang. The first act has a typical moralistic tone and includes a vivisection of the relations between modern influencers. The second act takes place on a cruise ship - events here are so wacky that I can't even spoil the final act - having known the plot, you wouldn't respond to this movie in the same way. Moreover, we have Woody Harrelson here, which works as a commendation on its own. Oh, and one more thing - one of the scenes will change you forever.
