Östlund's biting attack on the 1%, starring Harris Dickinson, Charlbi Dean, and Woody Harrelson, won the Palme d'Or for best film at the 2022 Cannes Film ...

This time when I was shooting, in order to create this sense of presence for the actors, I got everyone to stand around the camera and look at the actors, to give them their full attention. And I don’t want it to be so specific about why the different characters do what they do, I want to give the feeling that all men, and all women can identify with the situation. I try it out and look for when I really feel there’s a dilemma there for the actor, where you can see that they are struggling with their morals, ethics and expectations, expressing that in a believable and strong way. There’s the dilemma between what I want to do and what I feel that I have to do. If the line doesn’t work, we change the setup a little bit and see if it works then. And the cleaning lady is the only one who knows how to fish and how to make a fire. In Triangle of Sadness, for example, there’s a scene, the “bill scene,” where the male model and the female model are at a restaurant and the female model has said: ‘I’ll treat you.’ But when the bill comes, she doesn’t pick it up. A lot of the scenes in these three films are based on situations I have experienced myself. The male model is a bit on his way down and he is together with a female model on her way up. Then she said: we can split the bill if you want, you know, take out the calculator and so on, and there was so much shame for me in that situation. I decided the starting point of the film should be a male and a female model couple dealing with the fashion world and with being models. When I met her, I just wanted to hear everything about her work and the fashion industry and to get an insider’s perspective of that industry.

A viciously sharp satire about class conflict, with an already-infamous vomiting and pooping scene, won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival on ...

To mark the 75th jubilee edition of the festival, a special prize was awarded to Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, who have twice won the Palme d'Or and were back in competition with the well-received migrant drama "Tori and Lokita". Lindon said they struggled to agree on a winner, but "the entire jury was extremely shocked" by "Triangle of Sadness". "Triangle of Sadness" also proved divisive, with Variety finding it "wickedly funny" while the The Guardian calling it a "hammy, unsubtle, easy-target satire". The third-place Jury Prize was shared between "The Eight Mountains", about a lifelong friendship in the Italian Alps; and the festival's most radical entry, "EO", a movie told entirely from the point of view of a donkey, from 84-year-old Polish legend Jerzy Skolimowski. "Triangle of Sadness" puts Ostlund among a select group of two-time winners of the top prize at Cannes. He first scooped the Palme in 2017 for "The Square". She played a journalist in "Holy Spider", tracking a man who murders prostitutes in the holy city of Mashhad.

He had also won for The Square in 2017. This year has been particularly divisive with every film despised and adored in different quarters by the press, audiences and critics with no clear favourite to emerge. Because the truth is worth it.)

“Ruben's in the house” went the rumour. And indeed, there he was: Ruben Ostlund was back for the business end of the Cannes Film Festival.

The question is: why did a film like this win now, in 2022? As the ocean gets choppier, however, Ostlund goes for the jugular — with an extended sequence so outlandish and crude, you’ll either be repulsed or overjoyed. And indeed, there he was: Ruben Ostlund was back for the business end of the Cannes Film Festival.

To mark the 75th jubilee edition of the festival, a special prize was awarded to Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, who have twice won the Palme d’Or and were back in competition with the well-received migrant drama ‘Tori and Lokita’. The war in Ukraine cast a shadow over proceedings from the start with a video message from President Volodymyr Zelensky at the opening ceremony. The 12-day festival saw plenty of Hollywood glitz, kickstarted by Tom Cruise with his first trip to Cannes in 30 years to launch ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, accompanied by a French Air Force display team. The third-place Jury Prize was shared between ‘The Eight Mountains’, about a lifelong friendship in the Italian Alps; and the festival’s most radical entry, ‘EO’, a movie told entirely from the point of view of a donkey, from 84-year-old Polish legend Jerzy Skolimowski.
