Venice Contender Dag Johan Haugerud Proves There Can Be ‘Love’ After ‘Sex’: ‘They Are Connected’
Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud proves there can be ‘Love’ after ‘Sex,’ premieres the second part of trilogy in Venice’s main competition.
In “Love,” a follow-up to award-winning “Sex” and a second part of the trilogy set to conclude with “Dreams,” his characters continue to look for connection. Produced by Yngve Saether and Hege Hauff Hvattum for Motlys and sold by M-Appeal, “Love” eavesdrops on conversations between Marianne (Andrea Braein Hovig), a doctor in Oslo, and Tor (Tayo Cittadella Jacobsen), a nurse who works with her. Although the premiere of “Dreams” is still ahead of him, Haugerud — also behind festival favorite “Beware of Children” — is slowly preparing to let go of the stories that dominated these last years of his life.
