PARIS - Swedish director Ruben Ostlund's film Triangle of Sadness won the Palm 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.

The Jury of the festival distributed the Grand Prix to two films, Close directed by Lukas Dhont, and Stars at Noon directed by Claire Denis.

The Jury Prize was also jointly awarded to EO directed by Jerzy Skolimowski, and Le Otto Montagne, directed by Charlotte Vandermeersch and Felix Van Groeningen.

Best Director was awarded to Park Chan-wook for Decision to Leave, while the Best Screenplay was given to Tarik Saleh for Boy From Heaven.
