Cannes Film Festival news in Variety  yesterday — 

"Östlund was last at Cannes with “The Square” in 2017, which
won the Palme d’Or. While there are many films left in competition
to screen, the reaction to “Triangle of Sadness” hints that
it could be a contender for one of the Cannes prizes."

“Triangle of Sadness” … takes its name from a fashion-world term for
the deep-V crease that appears between one’s eyebrows with stress
or age. Nothing a little Botox can’t fix."

For geometry of less social interest, see Friday's post "Squares to Triangles."
