A sad moment for Rebecca Miller Martin Scorsese’s recent documentary picturejust the title mr scorseseIn which his middle child Domenica Cameron-Scorsese describes what it was like to play a small role in his 1993 film, age of innocenceThe director has spoken openly about where he failed as a father, and has since tried to improve (and also be more present in the life of his youngest, Francesca – hence the tiktok cameo,
But this was not the case throughout Dominica’s childhood. And when she describes the love and attention she saw that day – not as a daughter, but as an actor, you can feel the little twinges of sadness crossing her face. She comments, “If you’re not in that area of light, you can feel its absence.”
This absence leaves a sour, but silent, hole in the hearts of two daughters sentimental value, Following Joachim Trier the worst person in the world (2021). That film propelled the director, already an institution in his native Norway, onto a truly international stage (it was nominated for two Academy Awards). Maybe for this reason, sentimental value moves forward with somewhat cleaner sentiments than his acclaimed Oslo Trilogy – the worst person in the world, reprise (2006), and Oslo, August 31 (2011) – which softens the emotions of the dirtiest people you know. Nevertheless, Trier is a keen observer of any genre.
The Scorsese we’re talking about here is (fictitious) legendary director Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård). He is survived by his two daughters, stage actor Nora (worst personRenate Reinsway) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilias), when they were children. When she was young, he chose Agnes as the star of one of his famous pictures. She is the least bitter of the two, the one who continued to exist, at least for a while, “in that realm of light”.
After his mother’s death, he is now back, with a film script in his hand that he believes will be his comeback. He insists that Nora should play the lead role, a mother who dies by suicide in the final scene, just as his own mother had. This offer was rejected by Nora. He doesn’t know her as a daughter or an artist. Instead, Gustave casts a young American star, Rachel Kemp (Elle Fanning), who doesn’t feel like anyone knows her. We see Nora in tears of sadness. The camera pulls back and we realize she’s performing on stage.
Still, the entire cast here has done some wonderful, delicate work. sentimental value Ultimately Skarsgård and Reinsway and their characters lean toward the convention of generational trauma. Skarsgård brings some of his heritage – as one of Scandinavia’s best – to work here. There is a burden and fatigue, a gleam in the eyes and tension in the smile.
Gustav never meant to maim; He cannot differentiate between conversation and interview cinema notebookHe gives copies of it to his 10-year-old grandson piano teacher (2001) and immovable (2002) on his birthday (cinephiles in the audience will undoubtedly laugh – Trier, teaming up again with his regular co-writer Eskil Vogt, can be very funny at times). Nora has inherited the glare and tension, although she is reluctant to admit it.
sentimental value This is not to argue that art heals all wounds, but rather that it is sometimes the only recourse to honest expression. If it’s a little less messy than we expected with Trier – well, it beautifully argues why it’s a blessing that those messy films exist in the first place.
