 Just as Zweig, before being the author of The World of Yesterday, was a creator of memorable biographical portraits, I loved the novella for finding in it a classic and serene meeting place with exceptional souls conquered and invaded by uncontrollable passions and sentiments.

 Östlund's film is quite entertaining but it tremendously recalls Parasite without reaching its heights.

 At times funny and irreverent but repetitive and with very slow rhythms that make an appealing and cunning work lose its bite.

The review critiques Ruben Östlund's Triangle of Sadness as a sharp satire targeting superficial Western society and capitalism. While entertaining, it lacks the originality and genius of comparable films like Parasite. The narrative is divided into three parts with notable but uneven impact. The film’s slow pace and repetition dilute its critical bite, leading to a sense of missed opportunity. Explore the sharp social satire of Triangle of Sadness—watch it now and join the conversation on capitalism and culture.

 Hey What is a dark album in its own right, speaking of pain and loneliness, yet in many ways it is also luminous, shining with a light and hope that at times is even violent, aggressive.
