Joachim Trier, the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter\u2018s Awards Chatter podcast, which was recorded in front of film students at Chapman University, is one of the world\u2019s greatest working filmmakers. A 51-year-old Danish-Norwegian writer and director, he has been described by the New York Times as \u201csensationally talented,\u201d \u201ca meticulous craftsman,\u201d and \u201cincapable of making an ugly image.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trier was, until recently, best known for his \u201cOslo trilogy\u201d \u2014 comprising 2006\u2019s\u00a0Reprise, 2011\u2019s Oslo, August 31st and 2021\u2019s The Worst Person in the World \u2014\u00a0each installment of which he directed and co-wrote with Eskil Vogt; is set in Norway\u2019s capital; explores memory, identity and time; centers on upper-middle-class, intelligent, but self-doubting protagonists; and stars the actor Anders Danielsen Lie.<\/p>\n
More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/p>\n
Four years after The Worst Person in the World was recognized with the Cannes Film Festival\u2019s best actress prize for leading lady Renate Reinsve (who also appeared briefly in Oslo, August 31st) and with Oscar nominations for best international feature and best original screenplay, Trier returned with Sentimental Value, a film about the complicated relationship between two sisters who were raised together in the same old home in Oslo (Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) and their filmmaker father who left them and that home when they were young (Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd) but returned to it following the death of their mother.<\/p>\n
Sentimental Value had its world premiere at last May\u2019s Cannes Film Festival, where it received a 19-minute standing ovation and was awarded the festival\u2019s Grand Prize. It subsequently won European Film Awards for best European film, director and screenplay and the BAFTA Award for best film not in the English language. And it was nominated for the Golden Globes for best picture (drama), director, screenplay and non-English-language film; the BAFTA Awards for best film, director and original screenplay; and the Critics Choice Awards for best picture, director and original screenplay.

Meanwhile, still pending for the film is a nomination for the top Producers Guild Award, to say nothing of nine Oscar nominations \u2014 a tally exceeded by only three non-English-language films ever \u2014\u00a0including best picture, international feature and film editing; one for each of the film\u2019s four of its principal stars; and two for Trier, best director and original screenplay, the latter shared with Vogt.<\/p>\n
