Lacking significance through having been overused; unoriginal and trite.

Force Majeure, Ruben Östlund

Oddly enough after writing about this, I am reminded a year ago today I watched the 2014 dark comedy with the same name:

Pretty fucking funny. The Gods of Carnage turn a routine, man-made avalanche into something that at least looks scarier. Scary enough to knockout assumptions of security and a few gender stereotypes. Scary enough to forever scar some yuppie Swedes and ruin their bourgeois week on the slopes. Like I said, funny. You probably think you’re a better person than Tomas. Maybe you’re not.
