New Nordic Cinema at Scandinavia House returns in a virtual format! Celebrate contemporary Nordic filmmaking with us from home by catching some of the best new films in weekend sessions of contemporary feature films and documentaries. The ninth session of the series from April 30 – May 6 features the film Diana’s Wedding (Norway, 2020; dir. Charlotte Blom).
On July 29, 1981, Lady Diana Spencer is marrying Prince Charles in the majestic St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. And on that same day, another celebration is taking place in the canteen of a Norwegian small-town factory: the wedding party of Liv and Terje, attended by their newborn daughter Diana. While less glamorous than those of the royal counterpart, the wedding and its following years are indisputably more fun — for all but the young Diana, who sees it as a rollercoaster filled with chaos, inflicted by the worst parents in the world. And on the eve of her own wedding 30 years later, they still seem miles away from a decent job, constantly fighting yet somehow still in love. But does Diana understand what relationships — and love itself — are really all about? (90 min. In Norwegian with English subtitles.)
”An absolutely gorgeous, bittersweet tribute to love”—Yuan & Andreas Rothbauer (co-managing directors, Picture Tree International)
