24 Jun
Summary
- The film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
- It stars Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve as parents.
- The story involves a family's children being taken away.
Acclaimed family drama "Fjord," winner of the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, is scheduled for a theatrical release this fall on October 9. This date mirrors the successful launch of previous Palme d'Or winners distributed by the same company, many of which went on to receive Oscar nominations and wins.
Directed by Cristian Mungiu, "Fjord" features Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve as parents within a devoutly religious Romanian family who relocate to a Norwegian village. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when bruises on their daughter's body at school result in their five children being taken away, initiating a complex legal struggle.
Mungiu, a celebrated filmmaker, previously won the Palme d'Or in 2007 and has been recognized with multiple awards at Cannes for his directing and screenwriting. The film's distributor has achieved a remarkable seven consecutive Palme d'Or wins with this latest acquisition.
