"There’s a loveliness to every scene, quiet urban beauty that leaves space for the audience’s contemplation." - Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times
"It’s the rare romantic drama that concedes one person’s happily-ever-after is not necessarily another’s." - Guy Lodge, Variety
Opens July 25 | The second film of Dag Johan Haugerud’s modern love trilogy (after SEX) LOVE focuses on two colleagues at an Oslo hospital: Marianne, a pragmatic doctor, and Tor, a gentle nurse. One evening, when Marianne runs into Tor on a commuter ferry, he shares with her that he often spends his nights there hooking up with men. Tor’s confessions sparks in Marianne the desire to explore her own journey with casual sex. Like Eric Rohmer’s TALES OF THE FOUR SEASONS, Haugerud’s trilogy strikes cinematic gold by examining the complexity of relationships and human connection. You’ll be counting the days until the final installment arrives.
