180. Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value (TIFF 2025)

Joachim Trier's new film, Sentimental Value, is already a buzzy hit. Alex Heeney has been thinking and writing about Trier's films for more than a decade, and this one sharpened her sense of what she values in his work. In this episode out of TIFF, she look at the film's portrait of a complicated family and the role of the family home in telling that story. ✨If you enjoyed the episode, The Deep Focus: Oslo, August 31st is where you can explore the opening of Oslo, August 31st, trace its echoes through that film, and then see how Trier evolves those ideas in Sentimental Value. 👉Spots will be limited, so make sure you're on the waitlist here.
