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, **The Chicago Tribune***
