Sebastian Stan plays a Romanian father in Cristian Mungiu’s ‘Fjord’

Sebastian Stan plays a Romanian father in Cristian Mungiu’s ‘Fjord’

Sebastian Stan stars in Cristian Mungiu’s film ‘Fjord’ as a Romanian father who moves with his Norwegian wife and their five children to a small town in Norway.

Local child protection services take the children into care while investigating suspected physical abuse.

The family’s situation is shaped by cultural differences between them and the people around them.

Stan changed his appearance for the role, including shaving his head.

He says taking on very different roles helps him avoid being defined only by his long-running part as Bucky Barnes in Marvel films.

The story also follows Stan’s wider effort to take on varied screen roles, including playing Donald Trump in ‘The Apprentice’.

‘Fjord’ is his latest film, while he is expected to return as Harvey Dent in ‘The Batman: Part II’ in February 2028.

What people are saying

This movie will liberate me and the audience to do something without this judgment of, “oh there’s that actor doing that thing you know.

I didn’t set out consciously to transform physically.

It’s hard, because a lot of things go wrong and things fall apart, you get rejected, or the movie sucks, or you suck.
