A deleted scene from Joachim Trier’s SENTIMENTAL VALUE (2025) — one of five deleted scenes that are exclusive to Criterion’s new 4K+Blu-ray release of the Oscar-winning film: criterion.com/films/35497-sentimental-value
Joachim Trier, one of contemporary cinema’s great humanists, excavates layers of history and memory—both national and personal—for SENTIMENTAL VALUE, a rich, ineffably moving story of one family’s attempts to come to terms with generations of trauma and healing. After the death of their mother, two sisters must contend with the return home to Norway of their estranged father, celebrated filmmaker Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård). In the case of Nora (Renate Reinsve), an actor, he hopes to reconnect by casting her in his new film—a project that both inflicts fresh wounds and reopens old ones. With a virtuoso ensemble cast, Trier’s film delicately balances each moment of humor and hurt, conducting a stunning emotional exploration of how the past echoes in the present and art can transform pain into catharsis.
Criterion’s new edition also includes a new conversation between Trier and filmmaker Mike Mills; new interviews with actors Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning; new selected-scene commentaries by Trier, Vogt, production designer Jørgen Stangebye Larsen, and sound designer Gisle Tveito; deleted scenes; and more! criterion.com/films/35497-sentimental-value
