Norway’s official entry in the Best International Feature Film category at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025
Tale
Armand, a six-year-old boy, is accused of going too far with his best friend in elementary school..
The feature film debut of Halfdan Ullman Tønder, grandson of Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullman, is a part allegorical, part naturalistic analysis of the 21st century education system and its handling of an “unfortunate incident” between two six-year-old boys
Renate Reinsve is the eccentric mother of Armand, the alleged perpetrator in said incident, and as she is scrutinized by her son’s teacher, the school administration, and the other boy’s parents, the film slowly descends into an interrelational abyss – a limbo from which nothing good can come.
Ullman Tønder’s aim and position are strong, as is his artistic expression, which is clearly inspired by the works of his grandfather and perhaps to some extent by Kubrick
And although the narrative as such is at times choppy and the film is unevenly edited, Armand is in many ways a return and homage to pure cinema, for which it should be praised.
