Triangle of Happiness

Sam Mills, ‘Interior Worlds.” The Carbon Arc, edited by Richard Skinner, Vanguard Editions, 2025, p. 91:

Triangle of Sadness is a film I’ve seen many times, though I only have a clear memory of the occasions I’ve seen it with Andrew Gallix. We watched it in the Curzon and more recently on Netflix, sitting in his flat in Paris, his sofa draped with a large cloth with a map of London printed on it, a symbol of wistfulness for the country he misses. Ever since we connected during the pandemic, films have played a part in our relationship. I would not have watched classics by Bresson or Tati without him. In turn, I introduced him to Östlund, to Force Majeure and The Square.’
