Show Notes
<p dir="ltr">This week, Kim Masters sits down with writer-director Joachim Trier to discuss his Cannes Grand Prix–winning film Sentimental Value. Trier explains how he structures his financing to preserve creative control while allowing for longer shooting schedules — and still delivering returns for his investors. He also reveals why he broke his own “no-begging the talent” rule when he persuaded newly minted Golden Globe winner Stellan Skarsgård to join the project. And the filmmaker shares why Sentimental Value takes a playful jab at a certain streamer’s reluctance to embrace theatrical exhibition.</p>
