Description

It was a true shower of awards that the new film by Joachim Trier received after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and winning the Grand Jury Prize. Joachim Trier and co-writer Eskil Vogt, whose outstanding predecessor 'The Worst Person in the World' was also shown in the Cinéclub, illuminate the fragility of interpersonal relationships with great sensitivity and humor in this family drama. Renate Reinsve shines again in the lead role as actress Nora, the daughter of director Gustav Borg, played by Stellan Skarsgård. But another main character is a house in Oslo. Right at the beginning of 'Sentimental Value', this home is introduced through its memories. It recalls walls that were once warm, full of life, filled with voices, light, arguments, and joy. Now, this house becomes the emotional cornerstone for a virtuously staged father-daughter drama. After the mother of the two adult sisters Nora and Agnes has passed away, their father unexpectedly appears at the funeral. Gustav Borg has a finished script and wants to cast Nora in the lead role. He plans to shoot his film in this family home. But for Nora, both are out of the question. She still accuses her father of having abandoned the family for his career. According to spiegel.de: 'The film is less interested in grand dramatic turns than in the subtle cracks in relationships: unspoken accusations, missed opportunities, and the difficult question of whether one’s own past can even be told objectively. At its core, it’s about the power of stories – and who gets to tell them.'
