Trier and Reinsve Reunite for Sentimental Value
Joachim Trier and Renate Reinsve have worked together on three films.
Their latest movie, Sentimental Value, is about two sisters dealing with their father's return after he left them.
Renate plays Nora, a theater actor, and Stellan Skarsgård plays their father.
Joachim and Renate have a special connection and love working together.
They talked about how they met, their past films, and what makes their partnership so strong.
They also discussed how Renate's character in Sentimental Value is complex and emotional.
Joachim said he loves seeing Renate grow as an actor and hopes to work with her again in the future.
Joachim Trier and Renate Reinsve collaborate for the third time on the film Sentimental Value, which premiered at Cannes and won the Grand Prix.
Sentimental Value tells the story of two sisters, Nora (Reinsve) and Agnes, dealing with their estranged father Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård) returning to their lives.
Trier and Reinsve first worked together 15 years ago on Oslo, August 31st, where Reinsve had a small role but impressed Trier with her talent and charisma.
Their second collaboration, The Worst Person in the World, won Reinsve the Best Actress award at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
Trier and Reinsve have a strong creative partnership, built on trust, playfulness, and a deep understanding of each other's work, with Trier often writing roles specifically for Reinsve.
