In this Film Ireland podcast, in partnership with access>CINEMA, Gemma Creagh talks to Niels Arden Oplev, Writer/Director of 'Rose', which is screening currently screening throughout Ireland, as well as access>CINEMA's Special Projects Officer Stephen McNeice.
Set in the late ’90s, Ellen and her new husband Van decide to tak e Ellen’s older sister Inger on a bus trip to Paris where Inger once lived. Inger is schizophrenic, and lives in a care home coddled by her overprotective mother. Ellen sees their holiday as an opportunity to reconnect, and to find out if Inger might be able to live more independently. Inger herself has a hidden agenda for the trip – hoping to track down a lost love.
'Rose' is based on director Niels Arden Oplev’s own family history and is full of feeling. Sofie Gråbøl’s performance is the film’s highlight. She inhabits Inger, bringing her to life and presenting all her complications, impulses and anxiety with grace.
