A Different Land: Renate Reinsve & Sebastian Stan Re-team for Cristian Mungiu’s ‘Fjord’

Date:

A Different Man pairing of Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan will resurface once again for 2026 with Romanian master filmmaker Cristian Mungiu moving over to Norway for his next feature film. Titled Fjord, World of Reel pieced together via multiple sources to give us the lowdown.

This tackles the relationship that develops between two neighboring families where one of the partners in each family has a nationality other than Norwegian. The families live in a small village in Norway and have children of the same age. When their views on society, values and child-rearing begin to vary, they must ask themselves complex questions about cultural differences, about the limits of privacy and tolerance, and about freedom and personal integrity.

Production is set for March, so we expect further casting news and production companies involved sometime next month during the EFM. After R.M.N. (read ★★★★ star review), Mungiu published Une vie roumaine: Tania Ionascu, ma grand-mère de Bessarabie — a WWII project that he mentioned he’d like to turn into a feature.
