Eat the Rich

The exploration of wealth, power, and inequality has a long cultural and historical tradition. “Eat the Rich” has established itself as a buzzword in pop culture – an expression of growing criticism of privilege and social inequality. In the film “Triangle of Sadness,” the social order on a luxury yacht falls apart, while “Daisies” undermines bourgeois values with playful anarchy. “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” deals with guilt and responsibility in the form of a modern tragedy, and Georgian filmmaker Salomé Jashi highlights the quiet gestures of power of an oligarch in her documentary “Taming the Garden.” These films not only provoke thought—they also open up a symbolic class struggle on the screen. But who is actually eating whom here?
