Actress Nora Borg refuses to star in her director father’s new film after years of estrangement.
Director Joachim Trier and actress Renate Reinsve first received international acclaim for their 2021 collaboration, The Worst Person in the World, and they are set for even more global awards attention with Sentimental Value.
The Norwegian film, co-written by Trier and Eskil Vogt, stars Reinsve as actress Nora Borg, who is approached by her estranged father, film director Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgard), about his latest project – he wants her to star in his next movie.
Even though she refuses to act in it, Nora and her historian sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) are forced to become involved in the production because Gustav wants to shoot the film in the family home following the death of their mother and his ex-wife.
After Nora rejects the lead role, Gustav offers it to American actress Rachel Kemp (Elle Fanning) after they meet at a film festival, even though she is clearly not the right fit for the Norwegian character.
