Norway’s official submission for the “Best International Feature Film” category at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025

Tale

Armand, a 6-year-old boy, is accused of crossing boundaries against his best friend in elementary school.

The debut Norwegian feature film by Halfdan Ullman Tønder, grandson of Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullman, is a part-allegorical, part-naturalistic dissection of 21st-century parenting and education and its handling of an “unfortunate accident” between two 6-year-old boys

Renate Reinsve is the eccentric mother of Armand, the alleged perpetrator of the accident, and as she finds herself 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 emerge.

And although the narrative itself sometimes seems uneven and the film unevenly edited, Armand is in many ways a return and homage to pure cinema, for which it should be applauded

Ullman Tønder’s purpose and stance are strong, as is his artistic expression, which is visibly inspired by the works of his grandfather, and perhaps even to some extent by Kubrick.
