There’s a Norwegian proverb, brent barn skyr ilden, that translates as: “A burned child avoids the fire.”
This is at the heart of Joachim Trier’s latest seriocomedy, Affeksjonsverdi (Sentimental Value), as the character Nora (Renate Reinsve) has been burned by her father, Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård).
