\n\tElle Fanning<\/a> says her work on the complex family drama Sentimental Value<\/a> left her feeling her own familial anxiety when her older sister, Emmy nominee Dakota Fanning, screened Joachim Trier<\/a>\u2019s Norwegian film for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think we had a Q&A afterwards and I just started crying,\u201d Fanning admitted during Deadline\u2019s Contenders Film: Los Angeles<\/a> panel for the movie, appearing alongside Trier and co-stars Renate Reinsve<\/a>, Inga Ibsdotter and Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was like, \u2018My sister\u2019s in the audience!\u2019 \u201d Fanning continued, noting how the film\u2019s emotionally charged relationship between the two daughters (Reinsve and Ibsdotter) of a filmmaker father (Skarsgard) left her jangled as her real-life sibling watched Norway\u2019s official Oscar hopeful<\/a>. \u201cI wanted to give her a big hug because particularly the scene that [Reinsve and Ibsdotter] have together on the bed \u2014 and I\u2019m the younger sister, she\u2019s the older sister \u2014 I think Joachim just captures that relationship so beautifully. So I was happy to share it with her. And we had a big cry and hug after the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough Fanning was the only American performer in the film, much like her Hollywood actress character who finds herself suddenly enmeshed in a charged family dynamic, she says she didn\u2019t feel like an outsider when she joined the cast and crew in Oslo.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNot really,\u201d she said. \u201cI think I am such a Joachim Trier fan, and Renata and Stellan, and to get to meet Inga, and like Stellan said, I would\u2019ve said yes to a very, very small part, just one line, to be in a Joachim Trier film. I was such a fan. And so for me, I didn\u2019t feel, even though I\u2019m playing the outsider, I certainly didn\u2019t feel like an outsider.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe added: \u201cI was very much included, and we had a great rehearsal process, which is very important to Joachim. On one of our first Zoom calls, that was something he said to me: \u2018Please come to Oslo. This is how I work. We have rehearsals together in the house, in the space with everyone one-on-one and really not over-analyzing anything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFanning added: \u201cThis is a very personal story to all of us, because Joachim allows us to share our own experiences with each other. He kind of shapes the character to you or cuts lines out that he doesn\u2019t think need to be said and kind of lives in those silences. The film is so emotional, and I think it\u2019s because we all felt that way. We all felt very raw and open, and it was an incredible set and experience and really the best experience I\u2019ve ever had. The environment that he creates is really special.\u201d<\/p>\n
