Movies about the glamorous life of the upper class are nothing new in Hollywood, but some of our favorite directors took this genre and turned it out its head this fall. Movies about the fallout of the rich are showing up everywhere and here are three that you should put on your watch list.
Triangle of Sadness
Triangle of Sadness started this rising trend when it won Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. It follows the passengers of an ultra-luxe cruise for the super-rich, including a supermodel couple, who end up stranded on a deserted island after their trip goes awry.
The Menu
Culinary thrillers and movies about the downfall of the rich are everywhere right now and The Menu blends these two tropes into one cinematic tale. It centers on a group of wealthy people attending an exclusive dinner prepared by an eccentric celebrity chef, but it quickly turns out they bit more than they can chew.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
The first Knives Out film did a great job showing rich and privileged people fall from grace and the sequel Glass Onion is set to do the same. It shows detective Benoit Blanc traveling to a tech billionaire’s private Greek Island after one of his guests turns up dead.
