Triangle Of Sadness Takes Top Prize At European Film Awards

Feb 25, 2023

One film that has been surprisingly absent from many of the U.S. year-end awards lists is Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness.” The social media skewing farce took the Palme d’Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival but fizzled with critics in the U.S. and audiences around the globe earning just $15 million to date. Östlund and his colleagues have something to celebrate after “Sadness” took four wins at the 2022 European Film Awards including the top prize, European Film.

The NEON release also won European Director (Östlund), European Screenwriter (Östlund), and European Actor (Zlatko Burić). Vicky Krieps took European Actress for “Corsage,” a performance she was also honored for at Cannes.
Mantas Kvedaravičius‘s “Mariupolis 2” took European Documentary.
