Jon Fosse: Beloved - Uk Premiere Film Screening
An intimate story of love and longing, from Nobel Prize-winning writer Jon Fosse and acclaimed filmmaker Erik Poppe
The Coronet Theatre is proud to host the UK Premiere of Beloved, directed by Erik Poppe from Jon Fosse’s only original screenplay.
In a small Norwegian coastal town, Asle and Gerd fall in love and begin a family. For a time, their life together seems complete. But while Gerd feels rooted in the place they call home, Asle is drawn away. His life as a sailor offers an escape, leaving Gerd to care for their child as the distance between them grows.
How much separation can their love withstand?
With the spare language and emotional depth that distinguish Fosse’s writing, Beloved follows a family caught between the desire for freedom and the need to belong. Poppe brings a sensitive visual approach to this quietly unfolding drama, finding its power in the lives of Gerd, Asle and their son.
Starring Leo Magnus de la Nuez (Beforeigners) and Kristi-Helene Giæver Engeberg (War Sailor).
Continuing our long-standing celebration of Fosse’s work, this special screening offers audiences the opportunity to discover his distinctive voice on screen. A limited number of tickets are available.
