Elle Fanning Wipes Away Tears as Palme Buzz Builds for Joachim Trier’s ‘Sentimental Value,’ Scoring Massive 15-Minute Cannes Ovation


Director Joachim Trier and star Renate Reinsve brought their latest film, the comedy drama "Sentimental Value," to Cannes Film Festival.

In Trier’s speech after the huge round of applause, the Norwegian filmmaker choked up and shared he was “very moved” and noted that many in the film had “struggled for years” to make it. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.” His next time in competition was with “The Worst Person in the World” starring Reinsve, which won her the festival’s award for best actress and went on to receive Oscar nominations for best international feature and screenplay.
