    Panorama

    Trier has taken on one of the most difficult genres imaginable, the romantic drama, and combined it with another very tricky style – the coming-of-ager – to craft something gloriously sweet and beguiling

    Julie is turning thirty and her life is an existential mess. Several of her talents have gone to waste and her older boyfriend, Aksel - a successful graphic novelist - is pushing for them to settle down. One night, she meets the charming Eivind. Before long, she breaks up with Aksel and throws herself into yet another relationship, hoping for a new perspective on her life.

    Winner of the Best Actress Award at the 2021 Cannes Festival, The Worst Person in the World is a tender and melancholic romantic comedy. Joachim Trier rounds up his Oslo Trilogy with a gentle tribute to indecision, to the modern refusal to be defined - even by ourselves.

    Filmography: Thelma (2017), Louder Than Bombs (2015), Oslo, August 31st (2011), Reprise (2006).
