Strand Releasing has unveiled the official U.S. trailer for Love, a film by Norwegian filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud. The film is part of The Oslo Trilogy, which also includes Sex and Dreams. Haugerud’s trilogy has been recognized for its exploration of intimate and societal themes. Love premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival and will hit select U.S. theaters on May 16, 2025.
