Before making Joachim Trier’s 2021 hit The Worst Person in the World, Renate Reinsve was about to jack it all in. Three years later — after A Different Man, with Sebastian Stan, Another Life, with Gael García Bernal, and Handling the Undead, a chiller from Let the Right One In writer John Ajvide Lindqvist — she now finds herself not just back in Cannes but doing double duty at the Sundance, Berlin and Tribeca film festivals (“It’s a running joke that I have two movies everywhere”).

We finally got to do it last summer, and now we’ll see how it will be received. It’s going to be in Un Certain Regard, which is an amazing achievement for a debut movie.

DEADLINE: What happens?
REINSVE: The movie takes place in a school and
