Olivier Bugge Coutté is an internationally acclaimed film editor known for his long-standing creative partnership with director Joachim Trier. The duo met in film school and have collaborated for over 20 years, starting with short films and continuing through all six of Trier's feature films. Coutté’s editing style is celebrated for its emotional "sparkles" and its ability to balance complex multi-character narratives with intimate, psychologically driven moments. He reached a career pinnacle in 2025 with the release of Sentimental Value, for which he received a 2026 Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing. His work on the film has been praised for its masterful use of voiceover-driven montages and for giving each character in the large ensemble enough structural space to breathe.
