Michael B. Jordan

My guest tonight is an award-winning director and screenwriter whose latest critically acclaimed film is called Sentimental Value.

Please welcome Joachim Trier.

Let me tell you, first of all, congratulations.

It's a wonderful film.

Thank you.

Getting many accolades.

You just came back from the Golden Globes, where Stellan Skarsgård just won a Golden Globe for best actor in your film, correct?

Yes, we're so proud of him.

That is, it's amazing.

It's curious, in watching this film, knowing a little bit about your background, you came up skateboarding, making skateboarding films.

And I watched this movie, and Stellan Skarsgård did zero ollies in it.

Like, no nut punches, no nut anything.

Did I miss something?

You lost your edge?

What was going on there?

Mental nut punches.

I think what I'm trying to do here is to give also a platform for actors to explore something, take some risks.

So I started doing a lot of skate videos when I was a kid.

That's what I did.

I stood next to a handrail and saw my friends try some crazy stuff and maybe halfway break their neck or land on their feet.
