Master of social discomfort Ruben Östlund trains his unsparing lens on the world of wealth, beauty, and privilege in this audacious, Palme d'Or, winning satire of our status-obsessed culture. A model-influencer couple get a ticket to the luxe life when they are invited aboard an all-expenses-paid cruise alongside a coterie of the rich and ghoulish, but an act of fate turns their Insta-perfect world upside down. Pushing each provocative set piece to its outr ěxtreme, Östlund maps the shifting social hierarchies with the irreverence of a modern-day Luis Buųel and the incisiveness of a cinematic anthropologist.
