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.

    when danger forces you to face reality
    I knew nothing about Ruben Östlund's "Turist" ("Force Majeure" in English) when I started watching it, so that made it more intense. I interpreted the movie as a look at instances when people suppress unpleasant things, only to see dangerous situations force them to face reality. The approaching avalanche foretells the repressed issues that the family will have to address, and the question of how to flee a dangerous place functions as a good plot device.

    We often stereotype Scandinavian movies as slow, and this is no exception. But mind you, the slow pace allows the story and the characters to thoroughly develop, and the music really sets the stage. The alpine setting may look pristine and idealistic, but what transpires over the course of the movie is nothing of the sort.

    I recommend it.
