Possibly the most popular title from 2015, we are delighted to screen this film again. Swedish writer/director Ruben Östlund has proven himself to be a masterful filmmaker and Force Majeure, nominated for a Golden Globe, is further evidence of his extraordinary talent. ‘Tomas’, ‘Ebba’ and their two children are on a skiing holiday in the 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.
