Synopsis
Fors-mazhor (Force Majeure, 2017) is a Russian crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Vitya is a meek male nurse at a plastic surgery clinic, the kind of guy who says yes to everyone — his mother, his friends, anyone with an opinion. A single phone call upends his gray little life: a local crime boss known as the Therapist checks in, wanting a new face to dodge the police.
The surgery goes sideways. The patient dies on the table, and suddenly Vitya is the man the entire underworld wants to bury. His loyal friend Artyom offers a reckless way out — slip into the dead man's shoes and pass himself off as the Therapist. From there the timid nurse is running a criminal clan, flinching at every glance and improvising one cover story after another. Pavel Priluchny leads, with Ilya Glinnikov and Diana Pozharskaya alongside him; Alexander Zhigalkin directs.
It's a 16+ comedy of errors built entirely on one desperate switcheroo and the dread of getting caught. Good for an easy evening with no pretensions and no dead air. Stream Fors-mazhor online on iFILM.
