Review of Force Majeure (2014) by Tony P — 16 Apr 2015
What a strange film.
It basically flirts between a disaster film in its publicity and actually challenges relationship perceptions in a family dynamic when you watch it.
The Towering Inferno it ain't!
The story is basically of a Swedish family (think Alan Partridge, Benny from Abba) holidaying in some posh French ski resort.
On the first day the family are all luvvy duvvy. On the second an incident occurs that changes the family dynamic for the rest of the holiday.
An avalanche in a mountain top restaurant.
The film drags on as the mother moans that the husband legged it from his family.
At the end the husband redeems himself and the tables are actually turned.
Great cinematography of the alpine scenery.
