Fjord at Cannes Film Festival: Highlights and Star-Studded Moments with Renate Reinsve, Sebastian Stan, Sharon Stone, Stellan Skarsgård, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Others
Fjord Premieres at Cannes Film Festival
The Cannes Film Festival marked the world premiere of Fjord, the latest project from acclaimed director Cristian Mungiu, on May 18, 2026. Mungiu was accompanied on the red carpet by a star-studded cast, including Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve, Markus Tønseth, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Jonathan Ciprian Breazu, Henrikke Lund Olsen, Vanessa Ceban, and Lisa Carlehed.
The gala drew numerous notable attendees, among them Léa Seydoux, Demi Moore, Stellan Skarsgård, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Sharon Stone.
Fjord tells the story of the Gheorghiu family, a devout Romanian-Norwegian couple who move to a remote fjord village. There, they forge a close relationship with their neighbors, the Halbergs, while their children navigate the complexities of friendship amid differing educational backgrounds. The plot thickens when Elia Gheorghiu arrives at school bearing bruises, prompting the community to question whether their parenting style might be to blame.
As excitement builds around Fjord, the premiere serves as a compelling addition to the festival’s rich tradition of showcasing thought-provoking cinema.
