NOTES
Title from title frames
This wickedly funny and precisely observed psychodrama tells 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. . Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes and the BAFTA Awards. Winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.. "FORCE MAJEURE is both funny and sad, often in the same glance-averted instant. See it with someone you'd trust to stick around in an avalanche. It's one of the highlights of 2014." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
