Oslo<\/a>, Norway\u2019s capital and most populous city by a wide margin, is not a destination that’s necessarily on the tip of most travellers’ tongues. But the place is becoming a bit of a movie star thanks to the Norwegian director Joachim Trier. The daily life of ordinary people \u2013 in the city’s parks and bookstores and at parties \u2013 takes centre stage in his slice-of-life cinema (The Worst Person in the World and Oslo, August 31 were among his early indie hits) and leaves one swooning for a life there with all of the melancholy and joy that it might contain. Trier\u2019s latest film, Sentimental Value, is no different in its setting nor its wistful depiction of it.<\/p>\n

When asked about Oslo, Trier tells Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller, \u201cYes, you want me to talk about the city that, when I grew up in it, no one cared about. And slowly, it’s become bigger, and I’m grateful if I in any way contributed to showing its nicer aspects, which I think happens automatically when you create human stories that people identify with and put characters in these places where you\u2019ve had your own emotional experiences. It\u2019s a big and small city at the same time \u2013 not as elegant as Stockholm<\/a>, or as culturally vibrant as Copenhagen<\/a>. Oslo is more discreet.\u201d<\/p>\n

When first asked to extrapolate on Oslo\u2019s graces, Trier says, \u201cIn the summer, it\u2019s really hot because of the Gulf Stream, and it\u2019s one of the few capitals in Europe<\/a> where you can swim in the fjord. And in the winter, it\u2019s really snowing, and we have real ski slopes just outside of the city centre. You have these tremendous seasonal changes that create this gratitude for spring arriving.\u201d Through the success of his directorial career, Trier still DJs in different parks around the city in the summer. Of the first show each year, he says, \u201cEveryone\u2019s super pale, but they\u2019re still running around in their shorts and t-shirts, celebrating summer arriving. It\u2019s charming and weird.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sentimental Value follows a family \u2013 estranged filmmaker father Gustav (Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd), daughters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) who hold him in varying degrees of contempt \u2013 in the wake of the mother\u2019s death. Below, Trier and production designer (and fellow Norwegian) J\u00f8rgen Stangebye Larsen take us behind the scenes of\u00a0Oslo<\/a>\u00a0as depicted in\u00a0Sentimental Value, which is currently nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and is available in theatres and\u00a0on streaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favourite films, television shows, and more.
