Turist (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.

    Storyline

    Edit
    A Swedish family travels to the French Alps to enjoy a few days of skiing. The sun is shining and the slopes are spectacular but, during a lunch at a mountainside restaurant, an avalanche turns everything upside down. With diners fleeing in all directions, mother Ebba calls for her husband Tomas as she tries to protect their children. Tomas, meanwhile, is running for his life... The anticipated disaster failed to occur, and yet the family's world has been shaken to its core, a question mark hanging over their father in particular. Tomas and Ebba's marriage now hangs in the balance as Tomas struggles desperately to reclaim his role as family patriarch. —Cannes Film Festival

    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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.

      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 your Best isn't Good Enough
    I have seen 'Force Majeure' described as a comedy; but if so, it's an exceptionally black one, for it focuses on a dark question: what if our best isn't good enough, and our conscious efforts count for little when set against our instincts? None of the characters in this film are bad people; but whether they can make each other happy remains unresolved even at the movie's ambiguous ending. It's cleverly plotted, and makes skilful use of its secondary characters. But the final message is bleak: perhaps the most we can do is acknowlege that in a deep way, we're all really alone.
