Director Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World) and his regular co-writer Eskil Vogt scooped the Grand Prix at this year's Cannes Film Festival for their latest comedy drama Sentimental Value. The film sees Renate Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas play sisters who find themselves reconnecting with their estranged father (Stellan Skarsgard), a filmmaker about to tell their mother's story on screen.
Elle Fanning, Cory Michael Smith and Anders Danielsen Lie also star.
Sentimental Value is in US cinemas from November 7th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.
