Elle Fanning’s latest film, ‘Sentimental Value’ shattered records at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, receiving a thunderous 15-minute standing ovation, as reported by Variety. An emotional Elle was seen wiping away tears as the crowd erupted in applause for the film.

Directed by Joachim Trier, Sentimental Value stars Fanning as a glamorous Hollywood starlet. As the credits rolled and the audience rose to their feet, co-star Stellan Skarsgard was seen blowing kisses to the crowd. Trier, visibly moved, thanked the audience and choked up while expressing his gratitude. He noted that many involved with the film had “struggled for years” to bring it to life.

Sentimental Value surpassed the previous record for the longest ovation at this year’s festival, which stood at 11 and a half minutes for the pandemic drama Alpha.

In addition to Fanning and Skarsgard, the film also features Cory Michael Smith and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas.

For those unfamiliar, Joachim Trier is a Cannes veteran. He first appeared at the festival in 2011 with Oslo, August 31st, followed by the award-winning Louder Than Bombs in 2015. His critically acclaimed film The Worst Person in the World not only won Renate Reinsve the Best Actress award at Cannes but later earned multiple Oscar nominations.
