"The Oscar for Sentimental Value is undoubtedly a real shot in the arm for the Norwegian film world. We have long lived in the shadow of more mature' movie nations like Sweden and, in more recent times, Denmark. Last night, we climbed out of that shadow."
"Set around a family home in Oslo and telling the story of a film director estranged from his adult daughters, the film was nominated in eight other categories including best actress for Renate Reinsve, best supporting actress for Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and Elle Fanning, and best supporting actor for Stellan Skarsgard."
"International recognition for film-making in Scandinavia has long focused on Sweden and Denmark, but Norwegian film has been on a steady upward trajectory in recent years and work by Dag Johan Haugerud, Halfdan Ullmann Tndel and Lilja Ingolfsdottir among others has contributed to what some critics have described as a Norwegian golden age."
Joachim Trier's 'Sentimental Value' made history as the first Norwegian feature to win an Academy Award, winning best international film at the Los Angeles ceremony. The film, set in Oslo and centered on a estranged film director and his adult daughters, received nine nominations total. Norway achieved a record 11 Oscar nominations overall, including recognition for other films like 'The Ugly Stepsister' and 'Sinners.' This victory represents a significant milestone for Norwegian cinema, which has historically been overshadowed by Swedish and Danish film industries. Norwegian critics view this achievement as validation of the country's recent creative renaissance, with filmmakers like Dag Johan Haugerud and Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel contributing to what some describe as a Norwegian golden age in cinema.
