Armand
Renate Reinsve, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Endre Hellestveit, Thea Lambrechts Vaulen,
When six-year-old Armand is accused of crossing boundaries with his best friend, Jon, at school, it sets off a chain of events that drags parents and school staff into a gripping battle for redemption. Winner of this year’s Caméra d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Norwegian writer-director Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel, grandson of Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann, masterfully constructs a narrative that slowly unveils its secrets as the incident remains shrouded in mystery. No one truly knows what happened between the boys, and as perceptions shift, the story keeps you on the edge of your seat, observing every subtle expression and gesture. Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World) delivers a stunning performance as Armand’s mother. With perfect pacing and a foreboding atmosphere, Armand is a captivating exploration of human nature and the complexities of parenthood.
