Following the success of The Worst Person in the World, filmmaker Joachim Trier reunites with Renate Reinsve for the acclaimed follow-up, Sentimental Value. Winner of Cannes Grand Prix award, the film is also nominated for nine Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Reinsve, Best Supporting Actress for Elle Fanning, and Best Supporting Actor for Stellan Skarsgård.

Reinsve plays Nora, a successful stage actress who, along with her sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), reunites with their estranged father Gustav Borg (Skarsgård) – a once-renowned film director planning a major comeback with a script based on his family. When Gustav offers Nora the lead role, which she promptly declines, he turns his attention to Rachel Kemp (Fanning), an eager young Hollywood starlet primed for her big breakthrough. With their fraught dynamics made even more complex, Nora, Agnes and Gustav are each forced to confront their difficult pasts.

David Nixon, DCA's Head of Cinema, says:

A nuanced exploration of family, memory, and art – don’t miss it.
