Discussion: Cracks Beneath the Surface – Another Round and Force Majeure

Join us for a discussion about Another Round by Thomas Vinterberg and Force Majeure by Ruben Östlund, as we explore how both films delve into the ideas of control, vulnerability, and the quiet tensions that simmer beneath the surface of everyday life.

Another Round (2020, Thomas Vinterberg): Four friends, disillusioned with the routine of midlife, embark on a bold experiment—maintaining a constant level of alcohol in their blood to see if it improves their experience of the world. Blending joy and melancholy, the film offers a poignant reflection on risk, identity, and the elusive search for meaning. – Available on Mubi.

Force Majeure (2014, Ruben Östlund): A family ski holiday is thrown into disarray after a seemingly minor incident—a father's instinctive reaction during an avalanche—shakes the foundations of trust and perception. With biting precision, the film examines our responses to crisis and the fragile constructs we build around family, responsibility, and self-image. – Available on BFI Player.
