Sentimental Value

The film was awarded the Grand Prix at the past Filmfestival van Cannes and that is not for nothing. Beautiful cinematography and top-level acting performances ensured that Vogue crowned the film as ‘The Best Film Of The Year.’ After the death of their mother, the sisters Nora and Agnes are again confronted with their absent father, a once-celebrated film director who returns to breathe new life into his family and his career. Old wounds open, memories collide with reality, and everyone seeks their place within a loaded past. Sentimental Value is a moving and insightful Norwegian family film about love, guilt, and the healing but also confronting power of art, and this with a refined humor and deep emotional honesty.
