“[Almodóvar] nests one story inside another, leaps between them with breathtaking fluidity, and brings them both to a virtuosic, if abrupt, finish.” —Justin Chang, The New Yorker

After her mother’s death, advertising director Elsa buries herself in work until a panic attack forces her to stop. A restorative trip with a friend begins to intertwine memory, grief, and the screenplay of a filmmaker who tells her story years later.

“Fjord is a fiercely intelligent and gripping movie that finds its power in providing no easy answers, only questions about what is right and what is wrong.” —Pete Hammond, Deadline

Sense and Sensibility

Directed by Georgia Oakley
PG; 132 minutes
