Sentimental Value
The always superb Reinsve (Armand, SFF 2024) plays Nora Borg, an accomplished stage actress experiencing deep anxiety about performing. When she and her sister Agnes are reunited with their estranged father, the once-revered director Gustav (Skarsgård), he asks Nora to take the lead role in a new, deeply personal film – his comeback, he hopes. With Gustav having abandoned his family decades prior, Nora angrily declines his artistic overtures. He instead casts eager Hollywood star Rachel Kemp (Fanning), and begins work on the ambitious and risky film. But filial connections run deep, and the personal and the artistic intersect in ways that transcend the practicalities of creation. Profound, funny and deeply moving, Sentimental Value finds Trier at the height of his considerable directorial powers.
