Our take
Before he won two Palmes d’Or for The Square and Triangle of Sadness, Ruben Östlund sparked fervor at Cannes with this earth-shattering marital drama. Provocative, insightful and at times excruciating, Force Majeure is a frequently hilarious look at the fragile masculinity of a family man.
