The jury of the 75th Cannes Film Festival has named Triangle of Sadness as its best film of the year.
Laden with satire, the dark comedy follows a celebrity couple who embark on a luxury cruise with fellow influencers. Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean star as the leading pair, while Woody Harrelson’s performance earned him an 8-minute standing ovation.
This marks the second Palme d’Or for Swedish director, Ruben Östlund, who previously won in 2017 for his film, The Square.
The Grand Prix prize was shared between Close by Lucas Dhont and Claire Denis’s Stars at Noon.
Films that made their debut at this year’s festival include David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future, starring Viggo Mortensen and Kristen Stewart; as well as Top Gun: Maverick for which Tom Cruise received an honorary Palme d’Or.
