Triangle of Sadness is a 2022 satirical black comedy film written and directed by Ruben Östlund in his English-language feature debut. The film stars an ensemble cast led by Harris Dickinson, Charlbi Dean (in her final film role), Dolly de Leon, Zlatko Burić, Iris Berben, Vicki Berlin, Henrik Dorsin, Jean-Christophe Folly, Amanda Walker, Oliver Ford Davies, Sunnyi Melles, and Woody Harrelson. It follows a celebrity couple on a luxury cruise with wealthy guests that end up stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival.

The film had its world premiere at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on 21 May 2022, where it received an eight-minute standing ovation and was awarded the Palme d'Or. It grossed over $32.8 million worldwide and received positive reviews from critics, who mostly praised Östlund's direction and screenplay, as well as the performances of the cast (particularly de Leon). At the 95th Academy Awards, the film earned three nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. It was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Supporting Actress (for de Leon) at the 80th Golden Globe Awards, and for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (for de Leon), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Casting at the 76th British Academy Film Awards. Among other accolades, it won Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, and Best Actor (for Burić) at the 35th European Film Awards.
