In “The Menu”, “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and “Triangle Of Sadness”, plutocrats get their comeuppance on a remote island
. This trend for not just showcasing, but satirising the behaviour of the super-wealthy has found its way to the silver screen, too. Three new films delve into notions of power and affluence. And in an ironic twist, each features plutocrats getting their comeuppance on a remote island.
“Do not eat,” he commands, as unblinking and imperious as Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence Of The Lambs” . They are allowed to “savour” and “relish” his molecular gastronomy, but it is too precious for mere eating. The question is whether the Wall Street bros and has-been movie stars in attendance deserve the guru’s haute cuisine—or whether he will serve them their just desserts.
Another plutocrats-on-an-island movie to take a dark turn is “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” . In this puzzle-box whodunnit by Rian Johnson, Benoit Blanc returns as the world’s greatest detective—with the world’s most extravagant Southern drawl. As in the film’s predecessor, “” , he is sniffing out a killer within a clique of entitled snobs, but this time the setting is a private Greek retreat where a tech billionaire is hosting a party for social-media influencers and entrepreneurs.
