The Worst Person In The World (2021)

We’re winding down our European Vacation and we make a stop in Norway but there’s something that goes beyond the borders in Joachim Trier’s 2021 romance/comedy/drama/coming-of-age film “THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD”. Renate Reinsve plays “Julie” whose fickle and drifting life might seem a little too familiar especially if you’re in a certain age range. She meets Aksel, played by Anders Danielson Lie, a cartoonist about 10 years her senior and falls in love. The love and the eventual disconnect feel very real. She aslo meets and falls for Eivind, as played by Herbert Nordrum, a casual and sweet guy closer to her age. Relationships end and begin. Lives abruptly come to a close. Expectations fall through. It all seems so drifting and aimless so what can we possibly do about it? Force it? At best we can only hope for peace with however it goes. Trier’s third in his “Oslo” trilogy sets an illuminating spotlight on the romance of a certain generation and it’s as unsettling as it is sweet. It sure hit a little too close to home for our hosts. This feels like it could have taken place anywhere in the western world. Oh, look! We found a link but click it while it’s there.
