Dag Johan Haugerud’s OSLO TRILOGY
3 Episodes
When Dag Johan Haugerud’s exquisite coming-of-age portrait DREAMS won the Golden Bear at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival, it marked the culmination of a remarkable trilogy of stand-alone but thematically connected films—alongside LOVE and SEX—exploring the complexities of intimacy, desire, gender, and modern relationships against the backdrop of contemporary Oslo. Suffused with the spirit of Eric Rohmer in their elegant naturalism and richly conversational style, these wry, incisive works grapple gracefully with the friction between social norms and the realities of human connection in its myriad, often messy forms.
