Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” premiered Wednesday night to the kind of rapturous response that Cannes is fabled for. The film, starring Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård and Elle Fanning, marked Trier’s follow-up to his lauded 2021 film “The Worst Person in the World.”

Acclaimed director Joachim Trier said his new Cannes competition entry "Sentimental Value" is centred on reconciliation and family, topics the 51-year-old reflected on while working on the script with long-time collaborator Eskil Vogt.

Joachim Trier's follow-up to 'The Worst Person in the World' stars Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgard and Elle Fanning.
