Fifteen years after their first feature-length collaboration, Reprise and 10 years after its follow-up, Oslo, August 31st,director Joachim Trier and his longtime co-writer Eskil Vogt turned their gaze back on the Norwegian capital city with The Worst Person in the World.
Playful yet melancholy, intricately observed yet bracingly deft, and centering on three exhilarating performances from actor Anders Danielsen Lie, the films that comprise the newly christened Oslo Trilogy deliver lyrical, unflinching meditations on memory, self-knowledge, and the mutability of identity in today's Europe.
