A candid exploration of modern love, Love is a thought-provoking and intimate drama by Dag Johan Haugerud, serving as the second instalment of his acclaimed trilogy, ‘Sex, Love, Dreams’. The film delves into the complexities of modern relationships, following Marianne, a pragmatic doctor, and Tor, a compassionate nurse, who both avoid conventional love commitments. Haugerud himself describes the film as ’a breezy, sexy, thoughtful film’ that explores the boundaries of love and desire outside the realm of traditional romance. As a staple across Haugerud’s works, Love features naturalistic performances and a captivating exploration of human dynamics that invites us to consider the possibilities of spontaneous intimacy and the ever-evolving nature of love in today’s world.
