Venice Contender Dag Johan Haugerud Proves There Can Be ‘Love’ After ‘Sex’: ‘They Are Connected’

Just like Salt-N-Pepa, Dag Johan Haugerud wants to talk about sex.

“If you always show it as something dark and dangerous … that’s just wrong. I wanted to show sex as normal and ordinary, as something that doesn’t need to feel threatening or be all about spicy imagery. It’s a part of everyday life,” Norwegian director tells Variety.

In “Love,” a follow-up to award-winning “Sex” and a second part of the trilogy set to conclude with “Dreams,” his characters continue to look for connection. They also reveal what they really want, sharing the most intimate secrets. “Love” makes its world-premiere in Venice’s main competition.
