help Joachim Trier FAQ
Is The Worst Person in the World part of Joachim Trier's Oslo Trilogy?
Yes. It follows Reprise and Oslo, August 31st as the third film in a thematic trilogy about young adulthood, identity, and life in Oslo, although each film tells a separate story.
Why is The Worst Person in the World divided into chapters?
The film presents Julie's changing relationships, careers, and self-conceptions through a prologue, twelve chapters, and an epilogue. That literary structure lets Trier shift tone between romantic comedy, fantasy, grief, and intimate drama.
How was the frozen Oslo sequence in The Worst Person in the World made?
The scene shows Julie running through a city where everyone except her and Eivind has stopped moving. Trier created much of the effect with carefully positioned performers holding still, giving an emotional fantasy a physical, in-camera quality.
Which Joachim Trier film stars a recovering drug addict during one day in Oslo?
Oslo, August 31st follows Anders, played by Anders Danielsen Lie, as he leaves a treatment center for a job interview and reconnects with people from his past. The 2011 film was loosely inspired by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle's novel Le Feu follet.
