This movie was another highly anticipated one for me
This movie starrs Harris Dickinson (“The Kings Man: The Beginning”), thee legend Woody Harrelson, Oliver Ford Davies (“Christopher Robin”), Jean-Christophe Folly (“Irma Vep”), just to name a few.
This movie was directed by Ruben Östlund
This movie was released on October 7th 2022.
This movie is a Comedy/Drama. It was rated R for language, sexual content, violence, gore and drug use and frightening imagery.
Onto the premise: A cruise for the super-rich sinks thus leaving survivors, including a fashion model celebrity couple, trapped on an island.
This movie was a provoking and entertaining movie.
While there may be little to no blood even if this this movie is brutal. No stone is left unturned as you move through society’s expectations of class, money and sexual politics.
This is not light breezy fun and is sure to turn your stomach just watching it at times. This is a return to an original script not based on some comic book or sequel of some long drawn out franchise.
I mean you could watch another DC or Marvel movie but this movie is just like a breathe of fresh air with its originality.
This is in my humble opinion the best movie of 2022 (so far)!
Overall, this movie pulled me in from the first minutes. It was much lighter and much more fun than I expected!
I do have to say that title is misleading as “sadness” is absolutely not a topic in this project.
However, it deals with quite a lot of topics such as richness, power, capitalism/socialism, and so much more… without preaching or suggesting anything. And it is funny and entertaining from start to finish, sometimes even going into satire.
A definitely must watch where you don’t feel at all that the runtime is over 2 hours.
A very European, very international, very likable movie with superb performances and a very funny but believably absurd story.
