In Ruben Östlund’s wickedly humorous Palme d’Or winner, social hierarchy is turned the wrong way up, revealing the tawdry relationship between energy and sweetness. Movie star mannequin couple, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), are invited on a luxurious cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson). What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and combating for survival.
