Filmbar and the Research and Publication Centre (RPC) cordially invite you to a screening of "Triangle of Sadness" (2022), directed by acclaimed Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund, on Friday, June 20, 2025 at 6:00 pm.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Ruben Östlund’s "Triangle of Sadness" is a bold and provocative satire that dissects the absurdities of wealth, privilege and social class. The film follows a fashion model couple through a luxury cruise gone wrong, unravelling societal structures with biting humour and unsettling precision.

Through its genre-shifting narrative and sharp inversion of power dynamics, "Triangle of Sadness" holds a mirror to the world we live in – revealing the fragility of status, the performance of power, and the grotesque contradictions that underpin global inequality. At once hilarious and horrifying, the film pushes us to question the values we take for granted.

Venue:

2nd Floor, 65 Main Boulevard Gulberg, Lahore
