What do you do after winning the Palme d’Or? If you’re “The Square” director Ruben Östlund, you simply get back to work. The Swedish filmmaker has officially announced to Variety his next project, and it sounds just like the kind of satire he’s been perfecting in efforts like “Force Majeure” and his newly crowned Palme d’Or winner.
Östlund’s next movie is “Triangle of Sadness,” which follows two famous models approaching the end of their heyday in the business and looking for a way out. The male model finds his prospects shrinking after he begins balding, while the female model is a lesbian and rejects the desires of rich men. According to Östlund, the title refers to “a term used by plastic surgeons to fix a wrinkle between the eyes with Botox in 15 minutes.”

Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman were terrific as a long-married couple who overcame adversity in The Railway Man but Australian audiences aren.t buying their latest on-screen pairing.
Before I Go to Sleep casts Kidman as a 40-year-old woman who wakes up every day with a blank memory. Firth is her husband who tells her they.ve been married for 14 years and Mark Strong is her neuro-psychologist who encourages her to keep a daily video diary so she can help rebuild her life.
The thriller directed by Rowan Joffe, adapted from S. J. Watson.s best-selling novel, may not have sent audiences to sleep but relatively few bothered to turn up as the film fetched $418,000 on a very wide 194 screens.
Nationwide takings dropped by 16% to $9.7 million as none of the other newcomers much enthused cinemagoers, according to Rentrak.s weekend estimates. Distributors say the market is soft and especially shallow below the top three titles.
