Teaser Trailer for Norwegian Thriller ‘Armand’ Starring Renate Reinsve

“Are you okay, Elisabeth?” IFC Films has revealed a teaser trailer for Armand, a Norwegian film marking the feature directorial debut of Norwegian filmmaker Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel – who just so happens to be Ingmar Bergman’s grandson. This film initially premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, and it played at tons of other festivals including Vancouver, Edinburgh, Woodstock, and Montclair. The film is set to hit US theaters in February 2025, just after the Oscar nominations (on January 17th), submitted by Norway for this year. If you’re in NYC, you can catch it during its one week awards run later November. It “sheds light on a complex theme from constantly new perspectives, surprising and touching its audience with creative portrayals of the main characters’ emotional journeys.” Elisabeth is summoned to a parent-teacher meeting on short notice. Her son is accused of something, but what that “something” is, remains unclear. Soon, the principal, nurse, and more parents join a meeting that quickly spirals out of control. The film stars Renate Reinsve, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Thea Lambrechts Vaulen, Endre Hellestveit, Øystein Røger, & Vera Veljovic. Sounds similar to Germany’s The Teachers’ Lounge. If anyone is intrigued keep an eye out. // Continue Reading ›
