CANNES: A viciously sharp satire about class conflict, with an already-infamous vomiting and pooping scene, was a surprise winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.

'Triangle of Sadness' earned Sweden's Ruben Ostlund a place among the select group of directors who have won two Palmes d'Or, having already taken it in 2017 with 'The Square.'
