Force Majeure (2014)

A father's split-second reaction to an apparent avalanche at a resort in the French Alps becomes the question that eats his family's ski vacation: can you hold someone responsible for an instinct? Ruben Östlund plays it as a deadpan comedy of embarrassment, which makes the debate easy to start and hard to settle. Rooms divide along lines nobody predicts, and someone always asks what they would have done. Choose this Swedish original over the 2020 American remake, Downhill, which plays the material as broader comedy.
