Itâs that time of the year when countries select their official entries for Oscars and Norway has picked Joachim Trierâs Cannes hit âThe Worst Person In The Worldâ as its submission to the Oscarsâ International Feature Film category.
Kjersti Mo, who is the Director of the Norwegian Film Institute, called the movie a âtribute to film art in the form of a drama comedy that conveys deep seriousness with playful lightness and elegance.â
âThe Worst Person In The Worldâ debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in July, winning the Best Actress prize for lead Renate Reinsve. The story centers on Reinsveâs Julie, a spirited 30-year-old who has everything going for her. But sheâs also experiencing growing disenchantment with a long-time serious boyfriend. Julie aimlessly wanders around the city on a beautiful summer evening and quietly crashes a wedding party in full progress. Encountering Eivind they start flirting but good times come to a passing eventually. Itâs a simple melancholic tale.
