Cinema Savannah: Film Screenings CinemaSavannah has been bringing interesting foreign, arthouse, and independent films to film fans in the Savannah area since 2003, bringing mostly new releases that would not usually play in local commercial theaters. Times: Doors open at 6:00pm, movie at 7:00pm. Cost: $10, paid to Cinema Savannah. Cash preferred.	Upcoming Dates: Friday, Dec 2 \| 7pm Triangle of Sadness (Sweden + 8 Other Countries) In Ruben Östlund's wickedly funny Palme d'Or winner, social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty. Celebrity model couple, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson). What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the few survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival. 147 minutes. "The thing about Östlund is that he makes you laugh, but he also makes you think." Variety "If you’ve ever seen a Ruben Östlund film, you’ll know the feeling. The Swedish provocateur is a master of a very Scandinavian strain of distraught comedy, in which self-absorbed characters are tortured by an impish cosmos, and permission to laugh is never explicitly granted." Telegraph (UK)
