In 'Sentimental Value,' art imitates life and vice versa

NEW YORK (AP) — Joachim Trier's “Sentimental Value" builds its emotional power subtly through scenes that, like much of the acclaimed Danish-Norwegian filmmaker’s filmography, pulse with the rhythm of life. By the time the film reaches its crescendo, a simple exchange of looks is enough to leave you stirred to your core. The film, starring Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård, is one of the most acclaimed of the year partly because it's so much about the intermingling of life and art, and how each enriches the other. Neon, which backed the Oscar-winner “Anora,” is hoping “Sentimental Value” can likewise be a major awards contender.
