The Deep Focus: Oslo, August 31st

On the podcast, you heard me begin to sketch how the opening of Sentimental Value establishes the importance of the family home in the film, and how that echoes throughout the film.

But the opening is building on and evolving formal approaches Trier first worked out in Oslo, August 31st.

In The Deep Focus: Oslo, August 31st, I'll teach you to notice just how much thematic work is happening in the opening of Oslo, August 31st — and the formal approaches Trier uses to pull that off — and how what you see and hear in the opening echoes through the film.

And then you'll have a chance to apply what you've learned—with my guidance—to Trier's latest film, Sentimental Value, where he builds on the formal approaches he used in Oslo, August 31st.
