Oslo follows a young recovering drug addict called Anders Anders Danielsen Lie , who roams around Oslo searching for a reason not to start using again. In Worst Person , backdropped by a world of opportunities, a young woman named Julie Renate Reinsve always sets a career target but fails to reach it. Perhaps she subconsciously depends on her ever-changing partners to direct her towards the one target that would give her the meaning she lacks.
She desires to be herself, unable to define what that is. What connects a nihilist and a life-loving yet ultimately targetless individual is the lack of productive reality before their eyes.
The Norwegian filmmaker illustrates that one might not be addicted to drugs but might use them as a means to end the emotional nothingness within. In Worst Person , Julie is thrown into a world of opportunities where good and bad influences lack the capacity to navigate. Louder Than Bombs and Thelma portray the dysfunctional family and its post-traumatic tentacles as a central theme.
In an individual-centric society, we do two things. We search for a reason to live Oslo and a way to define ourselves Worst Person. I hope Trier will give us an answer in his upcoming cinematic gems.
