Force Majeure (2014)
February 13, 2020 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Join us for a one-night-only screening of FORCE MAJEURE on the eve before the release of it’s American remake, DOWNHILL !
Ruben Östlund’s black comedy about an unexpected implosion of trust set against the slopes of the Alps, “Force Majeure,” represented Sweden at the Academy Awards in 2015 and was a foreign-language box-office hit in the U.S. So it makes sense that an American studio, in this case, Fox Searchlight Pictures, would want to recreate Östlund’s wincingly funny film about a couple in crisis for stateside audiences. Enter “Downhill,” starring Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Will Ferrell, the film is slated for release on February 14th.
