The way that we filmed this was actually really exciting. We did it in really…

Hi, I’m Joachim Trier. I am the director and co-writer of “Sentimental Value.” So we wanted the film to start with a strong character scene, and Renate Reinsve was always in our mind when we wrote the character of Nora, the oldest daughter in this family, and we put her professionally as an actor in the National Theater, where Renate has actually done some work herself in real life. We did a lot of research in this old, beautiful building where Henrik Ibsen used to do his original plays and for the first time in the late 1800s, so it’s…

My Name is Kleber Mendonça Filho and I wrote and directed “The Secret Agent.” This sequence takes place in 1977 and it comes quite late in the film. I kind of knew it would be an important sequence for “The Secret Agent,” because this is where we finally get to spend some time with the people who are staying at Sebastiana’s building, and it would always be a challenging sequence from the point of view of writing and also of shooting.
