To mark the release of The Oslo Trilogy, out now, we’ve been given a bundle including a box set of the Trilogy, as well as a The Worst Person In The World mug, A3 poster and art cards to give away.
Playful yet melancholy, intricately observed yet bracingly deft, and centring on three exhilarating performances from actor Anders Danielsen Lie, the films that comprise Joachim Trier’s newly christened Oslo Trilogy – Reprise (2006), Oslo, August 31st (2011) and The Worst Person In The World (2021) – deliver lyrical, unflinching meditations on memory, self-knowledge, and the mutability of identity in today’s Europe.
Reprise
Erik (Espen Klouman Høiner) and Philip (Anders Danielsen Lie) have been best friends since childhood and both want to become writers. While Erik’s manuscript is refused by the publishers as lacking in talent, Philip is eagerly welcomed and overnight becomes a young star in Norway’s literary scene. Soon,...

Joachim Trier didn’t even start to think of his so-called Oslo Trilogy as just that, a single trilogy, until his frequent star Anders Danielsen Lie read the script for what would become the capper on a trio of stories told over 15 years, “The Worst Person in the World.” “He said, ‘I love the script but to me it feels just like a continuation. It feels like you are doing a third part in an Oslo trilogy,'” recalled Trier during a recent interview with IndieWire. He was on to something.
Released in 2006, the first installment, “Reprise” — titled after the act of repetition (in music or in life) — centers on two young writers and best friends, Phillip (Danielsen Lie) and Erik (Espen Klouman Høiner), evaluating their potential for greatness. The second part, 2011’s “Oslo, August 31st,” chronicles a decisive day in the damaged existence of a 34-year-old man (Danielsen Lie...

The vibrant Norwegian debut feature Reprise is one of those rare films about writers where form matches content, with fresh insights about the literary world coming via a complex, liberating series of flashbacks, ellipses, and other bold flourishes. Owing much to the French New Wave, especially the oft-referenced Jules And Jim, it feels like a young person's movie, connecting deeply to the fluttering thought processes of two first-time novelists and best friends whose lives endure dramatic, crisscrossing twists of fate. Though it can be hard at times to keep up with the restless, scatterbrained style of writer-director Joachim Trier, it's best just to allow the movie's freewheeling energy to take over and explore its subject from a multitude of angles. There will be time to sort out the film's events once it's over. The almost interchangeably handsome Espen Klouman-Høiner and Anders Danielsen Lie star as best friends who harbored...

Joachim Trier's mother was a documentarian, his father a sound department tech, his grandfather a Cannes-selected filmmaker, and his distant cousin Lars von Trier, so is it any surprise that the feature debut of this Copenhagen-born, Norwegian-based director has already turned out to be one of the year's best imports? An invigoratingly kinetic punk rock ode to young intellectual camaraderie that's as funny and sexy as it is haunting and sad, "Reprise" knocks chronology and narrative structure on their standardized asses to detail the friendship between twentysomething writers Erik (Espen Klouman-Høiner) and Phillip (Anders Danielsen Lie). Beginning with the two dreaming rebels standing at a mailbox about to ship their first novels to publishers, "Reprise" digressively dazzles in the moments long after, way before, and several hops in between as one becomes famous, the other hustles in his shadow, and the pressures of reality bring them...
