‘Love’ Review: Dag Johan Haugerud Makes An Entirely Believable Film About Decent People, Everyday Life And … Love – Venice Film Festival

Dag Johan Haugerud's followup film 'Love' follows decent people and their everyday lives and loves: "Sex is never just sex" — Venice Film Festival.

Charged with organizing centenary celebrations for Oslo’s Town Hall, she tries to convince her colleagues that the stolid 1920s friezes depicting Norwegian life on the building’s exterior are actually subtly coded representations of sexual diversity. To Marianne’s own surprise, she feels so drawn to Ole’s own single-minded passion — rocks — that she gives him a quick pat on the backside when nobody is looking, astonished at her own forwardness.
