I didn’t expect these movies to have anything in common thematically
spoiler
but they’re both literally about moon guys making life real sad
Also, both had an immersion breaking moment when someone I know from podcasting showed up halfway through the film.
And they’re both great! Highly recommend to everyone here. I’m sure mostly everyone here has seen I Saw the TV Glow but Bugonia is another Lanthimos banger.
Lanthimos is one of the most overrated directors out there right now. Halfway through Triangle of Sadness I had to turn it off. Like, we fuckin get it bro. You’re not as smart as you think you are.
That’s Ruben Ostlund
Who I think is fine but kind of a liberal douche. Triangle of Sadness is like a less talented, Western Bloc artist’s Disco Elysium. The Square is maybe a bit better politically but it’s very navel gaze-y.
shit, you’re right. in my head theyre the same guy
