Joachim Trier

The Profile

Norwegian film director noted for intimate, psychological dramas and the Oslo Trilogy; director of Reprise, Oslo, August 31, Thelma and The Worst Person in the World.

Directed Reprise (2006), Oslo, August 31 (2011), Thelma (2017) and The Worst Person in the World (2021). The Worst Person in the World was nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. The film completes Trier's Oslo Trilogy, a recurring reference in criticism.

The available review praises The Worst Person in the World as a defining portrait of today’s thirty-somethings. It links the film to Trier’s Oslo Trilogy (Reprise; Oslo, August 31) and notes recurring themes: indecision, narcissism, and postmodern vacuity. The reviewer highly recommends the film.
