Overview
With Love (Sex, Dreams), novelist-filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud closes his Oslo Trilogy on the love lives of Marianne (Andrea Bræin Hovig), a pragmatic urologist, and Tor (Tayo Cittadella Jacobsen), a compassionate nurse. After a day of breaking the news to prostate cancer patients, the two run into each other again on the ferry. Tor reveals he often spends nights aboard meeting men and Marianne finds herself inspired by his casual, clear-eyed, open-minded attitude, wondering how she might apply it to her own approach to love, sex and commitment.
“A breezy, sexy, thoughtful film”
“A thoroughly grownup and absorbing drama, acted with such sympathy and warmth, a ruminative and exploratory movie of ideas, and one that pays its audience the compliment of treating them as intelligent beings”
“So beautiful that you want to just keep dwelling in its world”
“A film with a rich complexity of feelings, navigated by people taking full advantage of their own freedoms”
Why You Should See This Film
Showing exclusively at Golden Age in Sydney, this beautiful bookend to Haugerud’s thematic trilogy is as refreshing, sensitive and articulate as the rest; this time exploring the intersection of dating, cruising and care –with sides of cultural planning, geology and parenthood – all against the glimmering harbour views of the Norwegian capital. Guided by the soothing strings of Peder Kjellsby and propelled by patient, complex, emotionally mature performances, this film is sure to inspire thoughtful discussion and leave you floating on an optimistic high.
