Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
During a boating trip the Loam family and their servants are stranded on a remote island after a violent gale obliterates their yacht. There, the Loams suffers from a lack of practical knowledge, while butler William Crichton assumes control of the situation and ensures the party’s survival.
Preceding Ruben Östlund’s splashy Triangle of Sadness by more than a century, Cecil B. DeMille’s prescient satire gleefully turns upper-class snobs into island castaways. Deprived of her luxurious comforts, Gloria Swanson’s snotty yet endearing socialite learns a tough lesson about life—and love.
