Photo: Magnolia Pictures Valentine’s Day marks the release of Downhill, the Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell–starring remake of the brilliant 2014 Swedish dark comedy Force Majeure, about a man who flees instead of staying with his family when faced with the threat of an impending avalanche. .
As discovered while writing this piece, I am not alone in playing out this twisted romantic litmus test; the movie’s pivotal scene even enjoyed a brief renaissance on Twitter last year. “My boyfriend and I talk about it,” says Cut writer Hannah Gold. “A few weeks ago we were having dinner with some friends and one of them mentioned a couple who’s haunted by this photograph that was taken of them.
Once you have established your loved one won’t Force Majeure you, it’s time to turn to perhaps the more morally fraught question: Would you ever Force Majeure them?
