Showdown triangle

There’s trouble in paradise. A clash by night. A dark victory, under a new moon. But it didn’t just happen one night, and it could happen to you. The ages of cinematic time are lined with the notorious splendor of unmade beds. The dreamers, the spoilers who come out of the past, the accidental husbands, my favorite wife—can you see the green light? It’s the talk of the town! Of all the films centered on a love triangle—however you read it—fling open Bridget Jones’s notebook and list the favourite. Luckily, you don’t have to choose just one—make it a full ten. This Showdown is going places (and we’ll always have Paris).
