This year’s Cannes Grand Prix winner, SENTIMENTAL VALUE is the latest film from Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World) ‘an exuberant, garrulous, self-aware picture about an ageing and egomaniac film director and his two grownup daughters’ starring Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård.
