Romanian director Cristian Mungiu’s Cannes Palme d’Or-winning film “Fjord” releases a new trailer featuring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve. The film follows a religious Romanian-Norwegian family that moves to the mother’s remote Norwegian hometown, where tensions escalate after allegations of child abuse. Their lives unravel as suspicions spread and the family becomes the focus of intense scrutiny.
Sources describe the plot as centering on a close-knit coastal community and the consequences of distrust. The family’s interactions— including friendships with neighbors—are shaped by miscommunication and intolerance. While The Hindu and Deadline emphasize the premise of the religious family and the allegations driving the story, IndieWire frames the film as a battle set within Norway’s state and social systems, focusing on the “backrooms” of power. FirstShowing adds that the movie is entirely set and filmed in Norway and notes that the Cannes response is mixed, with divergent views.
Deadline adds release timing, saying Neon will bring “Fjord” to U.S. theaters on October 9.
