PARIS, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Swedish director Ruben Ostlund's film Triangle of Sadness won the Palme d'Or, top prize of the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.

Triangle of Sadness is a film where a couple, invited for a luxury cruise with super-rich passengers, found themselves marooned on a desert island after a storm. Hierarchy is suddenly flipped upside down, as the housekeeper from the yacht is the only one who knows how to fish.
