Ruben Östlund’s comedy Triangle of Sadness was screened at the Cannes Film Festival. One of the roles in it was played by Woody Harrelson – he played the captain of a cruise ship who considers himself a Marxist, drinks vodka with a Russian oligarch, quotes the Communist Manifesto and deliberately sends the ship into a storm to make rich passengers vomit properly.
Immediately after the premiere, the actor answered the questions of journalists who were interested in how Marxist ideas are close to him in real life:
My character is a Marxist. But I am not a Marxist, I am an anarchist, so in this sense we disagree with him.
Immediately after that, Harrelson could not resist and commented on the current situation in Ukraine:
I’m a simple guy who thinks it’s disgusting when a superpower with all this military power, without any provocation and absolutely unprovoked, attacks a country like Ukraine.
Triangle of Sorrow doesn’t have any trailers yet, and the comedy is slated to premiere on September 2nd.
