I don't know, man. I'm very happy that people care about films from Norway. It didn't used to be like that. Meet Joakim Trier, the director of Sentimental Value. His profile has been boosted by the success of his modestly budgeted Norwegian family drama, which has picked up an impressive nine Oscar nominations and numerous other accolades. My father is a very difficult person.
Se on omaa perheensÀ Osloissa, jossa on kaksi isoÀitiÀ. Ja sen keskellÀ on yksi isoÀiti, jonka aktori on Renata Reinsler, ja hÀnen elinjohtajan isÀ, Stelen SkarsgÄrden, joka yrittÀÀ kÀsitellÀ hÀnen vanhempansa. Miksi et halua tehdÀ rooli? En voi työskennellÀ hÀnen kanssaan.
Luulen, ettÀ olen kiinnostunut liikkuvuudesta enemmÀn kuin olen kertomassa tarinoita. Olen kiinnostunut yrittÀmÀÀn pÀÀstÀ ihmisten pÀÀlle. Joachim Trier kertoi minulle sentimentaalisen arvon genesisin. TÀmÀn elokuvan vÀlillÀ on erilainen kuin aiemmin. Luulen, ettÀ olen tehnyt jotain, joka liittyy erittÀin tÀrkeÀÀn asiaan, joka liittyy yhteiskunnallisuuden ja perheiden yhteiskunnallisuudesta.
Perhe ja lapset ovat asioita, joita luulen olevan enemmÀn yksilöllisiÀ kuin mitÀÀn, mitÀ olen tehnyt. Se on kaksi isoÀitiÀ, jotka ovat kasvaneet vanhempia, jotka yrittÀvÀt soittaa heidÀn isÀnsÀ, joka on ollut melko narsisistinen, vaikea henkilö, melko vÀÀrÀ, ja he yrittÀvÀt yhdistÀÀ. Monet ihmiset nÀkevÀt sen allegoriaan, ettÀ he soittavat vanhempia tai vanhempia.
He eivÀt tiedÀ, miten saada enemmÀn intiimistÀ kommunikaatiota. TÀmÀ elokuva oli tehty yhteistyössÀ Norjassa, Ruotsissa, Tanskassa, Saksassa ja Yhdysvalloissa. Kaikki tuli esiin kertoa,
A family grappling with lack of communication. So that's my experience, and that was a good one. But what Joakim Trier is perhaps most excited about is how his film has travelled to audiences in distant lands to become Norway's most successful film globally in history.
Olen 5,5 miljoonaa ihmistÀ. Se ei tarkoita, ettÀ filmi Norjassa kÀy nÀin. Olemme kiitollisia. Se on todella yllÀttÀvÀÀ. NykyÀÀn kaikki vaikuttavat Norjassa, koska taiteen rahoitus ei ole kasvanut.
Sentimental Value is the first Norwegian film ever nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award. But quite apart from the Oscars, Joakim Trier has already given audiences a piece of well-crafted cinema with a very resonant, tenderly told human story that seems to touch people quite deeply.
