Interview with Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård of Sentimental Value
On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel sits down in Toronto with Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård to discuss their work in Joachim Trier's SENTIMENTAL VALUE. In the film, sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics. This interview was recorded during TIFF 50 in September. Sentimental Value releases November 14, 2025 in select theatres.
