Screening of Cristian Mungiu's Palme d'Or-winning drama 'Fjord', starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve, at The Odyssey Cinema.
Fjord screens at The Odyssey Cinema on Tuesday 8 December, starting at 19:00. It's a moral drama from Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, who also made 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, and it takes home the Palme d'Or.
The story follows Mihai and Lisbeth Gheorghiu, who leave Romania after their parents die and settle with their children in a remote Norwegian village, close to Lisbeth's family and the neighbouring Halbergs. The fragile peace they build there unravels when their young daughter, Elia, arrives home from school covered in bruises. It's a co-production between Romania, France, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden, and it's rated 15.
On screen, Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve lead the cast, with Lisa Carlehed, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Lisa Loven Kongsli and Henrikke Lund Olsen. The film runs 146 minutes, so it's a proper evening's sitting.
