"Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value swept aside its competition at the European Film Awards on Saturday night, seizing all five top prizes at a ceremony in Berlin. Sentimental Value, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes last year, went home with best film, best director, best screenwriter, best actor for Stellan Skarsgard and best actress for Renate Reinsve, as well as best composer."
"Cultural diversity is a value that the European Film Academy likes to hold up as its distinguishing feature when compared to the more commercially successful and box office-oriented American film system. But prizes at the EFA have a tendency to crowd around a single film that dominates the night. After winner-takes-all nights for Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall in 2023 and Jacques Audiard's Emilia Perez in 2024, this year was no exception."
Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value swept the European Film Awards, taking five top prizes: best film, best director, best screenwriter, best actor (Stellan Skarsgard) and best actress (Renate Reinsve), plus best composer. The film previously won the Grand Prix at Cannes and follows an ageing filmmaker trying to recruit his estranged daughter for his final work, marking it as a likely Oscar contender. Oliver Laxe's Sirat also enjoyed a strong night with five awards, including sound design for its brooding techno score. Jafar Panahi's It Was Just an Accident received no awards after opening with a statement on political unrest, while Sound of Falling won best costume.
