Welcome to the documentary in the studio from the BBC World Service,

the program that investigates the creative process.

My name is Stephen Hughes, and this is Eurke Mtria.

I don't do any press, really, unless I release a film.

You know, I find it generous of you to come and talk about process

because I do care about artistic process.

You know, I don't want it to sound like a pretentious cloaked

son of magic place where artists work.

It's actually very pragmatic and it's full of doubt.

And every time I make a film I feel that there

is this real real presence of failure at times when I know that bits and pieces along the way

I fail at and I got to kind of stitch it together and try to hold it up regardless.

Yorakim is the Danish Norwegian director of Reprise, Oslo August 31st and the worst person in the world.

That film was a wild, funny and compelling romantic drama.

It was a global success in terms of awards, nominations and box office business.

And I had exclusive access to Yorikim as he made his much-anticipated follow-up,

Sentimental Value, which would go on to win a major prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The Grand Prix goes to sentimental value.

You all think true.

Like all his films, sentimental value has been co-written with Eskil Fockt, a close friend for the last 30 years.

Together they form one of the most remarkable partnerships in modern cinema.

This is when it all begins.
