Norway's Oscar winner 'Sentimental Value': a failing father seeks redemption

Arthouse filmmaker Gustav Borg, played expertly by Sweden's Stellan Skarsgard, turns up out of the blue at his ex-wife's funeral, re-entering his daughters' lives years after abandoning them, and offers the eldest -- troubled actress Nora (Renate Reinsve) -- the lead in his next movie. What follows is a painful dissection of past traumas and unspoken tensions between a failing father -- no longer wanted yet trying to redeem himself with a new movie script -- and his two very different yet inextricably close daughters.
