Johannes Kuhnke, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Clara Wettergren, and Vincent Wettergren in Force Majeure (2014)
The story of a model Swedish family -- handsome businessman Tomas, his willowy wife Ebba and their two blond children -- on a skiing holiday in the French Alps. The sun is shining and the slopes are spectacular but, during a lunch at a mountainside restaurant, an avalanche suddenly bears down on the happy diners. With people fleeing in all directions and his wife and children in a state of panic, Tomas makes a decision that will shake his marriage to its core and leave him struggling to reclaim his role as family patriarch.

    • Trivia
      Director Ruben Östlund acquired inspiration for some scenes in the screenplay from real footage on YouTube. For example, the avalanche which serves as a momentum early in the story was inspired by a video Östlund found on YouTube, and a performance by a 12-year-old accordionist of Vivaldi's "Summer" was taken directly from a YouTube clip and played repeatedly throughout the film.
    • Goofs
      The family is skiing in the French Alps, but when Mats and Fanny are waiting for the elevator after their awkward evening with Tomas and Ebba, the directory beside the elevator is in Swedish.

    THE COMEDY IS SO FRICKIN DARK.

    A slow-burn relationship drama that just explodes with brutal honesty and awkward tension. The comedy is so frickin dark and I love it. This film is definitely very thought-provoking and worthy of analysis, so simple yet crucially fundamental.
