Dag Johan Haugerud’s ‘Love’ sets US release at Film Forum in New York City
The Oslo-set romantic drama Love, part of Norwegian novelist/filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud’s Love – Sex – Dreams: The Oslo Trilogy will make its US theatrical premiere on Friday, May 16 at Film Forum in New York City.
It had its world premiere at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival where it was awarded the film critics’ Bisato d’Oro prize and went on to screen internationally.
Love focuses on two colleagues at an Oslo hospital — Marianne, a straight (and straitlaced) doctor, and Tor, a gay male nurse. Both single, they cross paths by chance after hours and confide in each other: Marianne confesses her desire to be more adventurous and open in her encounters with men; Tor shares his fatigue with Grindr hook-ups. Their conversations form the heart of exploration of desire and emotional fulfillment.
Love – Sex – Dreams: The Oslo Trilogy are three distinct feature films linked by their themes of nontraditional intimacy (that need not be seen in any particular order). Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex opens at Film Forum on June 13. Dreams, recent winner of the Golden Bear at the 2025 Berlinale, opens at Film Forum on September 12.
