Elle Fanning joins most emotional film family in ‘Sentimental Value’, as Cannes gives it a 19-minute standing ovation
Joachim Trier's "Sentimental Value," about a dysfunctional artistic family in Oslo, received a 19-minute standing ovation at Cannes. Trier, moved by his actors' performances, cried during filming. The film stars Stellan Skarsgard as the sidelined filmmaker father and Renate Reinsve as his actress daughter. Elle Fanning plays a Hollywood star who arrives with Netflix funding to revive one of the father's scripts, changing the family dynamic. Trier, known for "The Worst Person in the World," filmed in a beautiful old Oslo home, which becomes a character itself.
