march 20: triangle of sadness (2022)
A vapid celebrity model couple are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, including a Russian oligarch, British arms dealers and an alcoholic Marx-quoting captain. What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival.
From director Ruben Östlund, the Palme d’Or winning Triangle of Sadness is a misanthropic satire taking on excess, power and class hierarchies.
FEBRUARY 21: SORRY TO BOTHER YOU (2018)
The directorial debut of rapper and activist Boots Riley, Sorry to Bother You takes place in an alternate reality of present-day Oakland, California, where telemarketer Cassius Green finds himself in a macabre universe after he discovers a magical key that leads to material glory. The dark comedy explores themes of race, labor, capitalism, and power.
january 30TH: snowpiercer (2013)
Before Parasite, there was Snowpiercer. Academy award winning writer and director Bong Joon-ho's English language debut is a post-apocalyptic science fiction set in an ice age following a failed attempt at climate engineering to stop global warming. Aboard a massive train that circles the Earth with the last survivors, a new, severe class system emerges.
A critically acclaimed, instant dystopian classic, Snowpiercer takes on themes of inequality, corporate power, class struggle and revolution in a surreal, snowy, not so distant future.
