Country: Sweden
Director: Ruben Östlund
Cast: Johannes Bah Kuhnke, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Clara Wettergren, Vincent Wettergren, Kristofer Hivju & Fanni Metelius.
Tomas and Ebba, a middle-class couple vacationing at a fancy ski resort in the French Alps with their two children. On the second day, they face a controlled avalanche that slowly spoils the mood of their whole trip.
Force Majeure deals with a situation that can change any relationship status, Instead of protecting his family, a man runs for his own life. Ruben Östlund presents a simple truth of patriarchal society. Never know how we might react in a survival scenario like this and In the end, your action towards that situation defines who you are a hero or a coward. The third acts seem to be a forced one from the director to make the circle complete itself. It was selected as the Swedish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards. Overall, It's a truly beautiful piece of cinema and the way drama unfolds were nicely captured by cinematographer Fredrik Wenzel.
Verdict: Good
