‘Fjord’ Trailer: Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve Battle the Backrooms of the Norwegian State in Palme d’Or Winner
Director Cristian Mungiu weaves a tale of miscommunication and intolerance in one of the happiest societies on Earth.
In the latest film Fjord, directed by Cristian Mungiu, Sebastian Stan plays the domineering patriarch Mihai, who has undergone a dramatic transformation from his previous roles. Gone are the Trump wig and Bucky Barnes locks, replaced by a completely bald look. Mihai's arrival in a remote Norwegian coastal village is the result of his wife Lisbet's insistence, and this move brings together a family of seven.
However, Mihai's staunch Romanian beliefs clash with the local community's norms. His close friendship with a neighboring family catches the attention of the town, resulting in child endangerment allegations that put the family under scrutiny. Fjord, which won this year's Palme d'Or, is a testament to the filmmakers' skill, with Stan's compelling performance leading the charge. The film is set to release in the United States on October 9.
