""That was new to me, that a director took that time that early in the process to get to know the people who he's auditioning, which I thought was brilliant because he really gets to know you and you get to know him. It's a mutual testing of each other. And I had a really lovely conversation with him that made me feel very safe and respected, and I think that affected the way the audition went, to be honest.""
"Part of the brilliance of Joachim Trier's " Sentimental Value," the Cannes Grand Prix-winning drama about a family pushed away and pulled back together by their art, chosen to represent Norway in the Best International Feature Oscar race, is how long actors like Renate Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas were able to live with their characters. Reinsve knew she would be playing older sister Nora,"
Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value centers on a family fractured and reunited through their art, winning the Cannes Grand Prix and representing Norway in the Best International Feature Oscar race. Renate Reinsve portrays Nora, an accomplished theater actress resistant to reconciling with their internationally-renowned film director father played by Stellan Skarsgård. Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas plays Agnes, a former child actor turned researcher and mother. Lilleaas underwent an extended audition process that included early, in-depth conversations with the director and scene tests with fellow actors. The prolonged casting and rehearsal period allowed the performers to live with and deepen their characters.
