The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Force Majeure? (2014) at East Dulwich Tavern on 15 October 2015


Recommended Posts

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ? ?Force Majeure? (2014) at 8pm on Thursday, 15 October 2015, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.


This wickedly funny and precisely observed psychodrama tells the story of a model Swedish family - handsome businessman Tomas, his willowy wife Ebba and their two blonde, pre-teen children - on a skiing holiday in the French Alps. The sun is shining and the slopes are spectacular but, during lunch at a mountainside restaurant, an avalanche turns everything upside down. With panicked diners fleeing in all directions, Ebba calls out for her husband as she tries to protect their children. Tomas, however, makes a decision that will shake the family's world to its core. Although the anticipated disaster fails to occur, his marriage now hangs in the balance as he struggles to reclaim his role as family patriarch.


The film portrays the clash between our attempts to control nature, whether of landscapes or feelings, and the inevitability with which the world, and our own fallibility, confound and leave us stranded.


Directed by Ruben ?stlund, with Johannes Kuhnke, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Clara Wettergren

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

We use high-performance mineral wool slabs, never foam, for so many reasons: it is the ideal flexible material for the irregularities of old floors; is breathable, working with the way your floor has successfully performed for perhaps 100 years or more; can easily be removed to access pipes and cables; and is completely non-combustible. A local business based in Crystal Palace, we work extensively around Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Lewisham, Tooting, Balham and across the south East of England.
