The Worst Person in the World (15)
Dir. Joachim Trier, Norway/France, 2021, 128 mins. Cast. Anders Danielson Lie, Renate Reinsve, Herbert Nordrum.
A modern dramedy about the quest for love and meaning in contemporary Oslo. It chronicles four years in the life of Julie, a young woman who navigates the troubled waters of her love life and struggles to find her career path, leading her to take a realistic look at who she really is.
Trier’s innovative take on the volatility of love and happiness features a Cannes-winning performance from the luminous Renate Reinsve. Vibrant and playful, Julie is an academic over-achiever whose attitude to work, love and commitment is capricious to say the least. But, perhaps never needing to try too hard has left her unsure of what it is she really wants? A witty, inventive and tender tale whose tonal shifts through euphoria, heartbreak and hope are beautifully interpreted by the wonderful Reinsve as Julie.
