Swedish satirist Ruben Ostlund joined a very exclusive club of two-time Cannes Palme d'Or winners with this scathingly hilarious saga of class, power and seasickness. The grotesquely rich passengers on a luxury cruise ship spend their days snapping at their young, eager crew – who are white, bright and beautiful – while an unseen host of brown-skinned workers toil invisibly in the galley and engine room. Meanwhile, the depressed captain (Woody Harrelson) drinks himself into oblivion in his cabin. The tables turn suddenly, however, when pirates invade the ship. The passengers who make it to a desert island are suddenly entirely reliant on the survival skills of a worker from below decks, who isn't inclined to indulge them. The oppressed is all too ready to take a turn as the oppressor. Wild, outsize, brash and clever, Ostlund's Odyssey lets nobody off the hook.

FARASAN BOAT 128 KM AWAY FROM ANCHORAGE

Director: Mowaffaq Alobaid

In 2016, a group of young men headed out on a short fishing trip around Farasan Island, off the coast from Jazan. Intending to be away for only an hour, they were soon driven off course in thick fog, heading unknowingly towards the war-torn Yemeni border. As they realized where they were and tried to head back, their boat ran out of fuel. For 90 hours, they drifted without food or water, constantly at risk from passing pirates or being shot from the shore. There were many moments when they despaired of surviving; then came a glimmer of hope.

MOON

Director: Kurdwin Ayub

Sarah, a former mixed martial arts champion in Austria, knows she needs to make a new start. While her sister urges her to start a business, she jumps at an unexpected offer to go to Jordan to train three teenage daughters of a dazzlingly rich family living in an isolated, fiercely guarded mansion. Sarah soon sees that the girls don’t want to train, but have little else in their closeted lives: no internet allowed, no friends and only rare outings to the mall, where they are closely watched, for entertainment. The house, moreover, seems to hold its own secrets; why is Sarah forbidden to go upstairs? Director Ayub maintains the tension of a thriller in this story of life in a golden cage.

BLACK DOG

While China buzzes in anticipation of the Beijing Olympics, Lang returns from a decade in prison to his home town to find it largely deserted, its crumbling concrete blocks being torn down to make way for a new industrial city. The exodus of humans means that the area is now overrun with stray dogs; Lang, needing a job, joins a hastily assembled extermination team supposed to round them up but, when a dog suspected of having rabies adopts him, he realizes his real mission is to save the animals, including the ones at the nearly deserted local zoo.. In a riveting, almost wordless performance, Eddie Peng shows Lang recover his humanity, even as the landscape around him becomes increasingly desolate.
