Cannes Winner Ruben Östlund For ‘Triangle of Sadness’

Ruben Östlund won his second Palme d’Or for “Triangle of Sadness,” a biting satire of the rich and (Insta-) famous, bringing the 2022 Cannes Film Festival to a close. Östlund’s follow-up to his 2017 Palme-winning “The Square” takes a boat full of shallow people — models, millionaires and their various trophy partners — and abandons them in deep water, forcing the survivors to reconstruct a desert-island society where money holds no power. In such a system, for better or worse, beauty becomes the most valuable asset.

Mona Lisa Attacked With A Custard Pie

Visitors to the Louvre art gallery in Paris were left stunned by the incident which happened moments before closing time on Sunday 29th May. Witnesses said a man, who was wearing a wig and dressed as a woman, was rolling past Leonardo da Vinci’s famous masterpiece in a wheelchair before suddenly leaping to his feet and launching a pie at the canvas. The perpetrator then threw a bouquet of roses into the air and was tackled to the ground by Louvre security guards moments later. No damage was caused to the priceless painting which is protected by a bulletproof screen. Scores of bystanders watched on, snapping pictures of the Mona Lisa which was partially obscured from view by smears of pie crusted on the protective glass.

Lost Cities Of The Amazon Discovered Using ‘Lasers In The Sky’

A newly discovered network of ‘lost’ ancient cities has been discovered in the Amazon, using lidar technology – dubbed ‘lasers in the sky’ – to peer through the tropical forest canopy. The cities, built by the Casarabe communities between 500-1400 AD, are located in the Llanos de Mojos savannah-forest, Bolivia, and have been hidden under the thick tree canopies for centuries. They feature an array of elaborate and intricate structures unlike any previously discovered in the region, including 16ft-high terraces covering 54 acres – the equivalent of 30 football pitches – and 69ft-tall conical pyramids.
