THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
From Norway, chronicles four years in the life of Julie (Renate Reinsve), as she navigates her love life, her career path, and figuring out who she is.
Man...what a wonderful little film.
Great performance by the fantastic Reinsve and also let me not forget Anders Danielsen Lie as Aksel her live in boyfriend.
The movie plays out in 12 chapters and an epilogue. Each chapter takes you through Julie's life and changes in these four years as she tries to discover intentionally or unintentionally what she wants with her life.
The film is slow, often sad, often quirky (There is one beautiful part where Julie will go and get what she really wants while the rest of the world is frozen in time), and funny (Julie pretending to be a doctor at a party). There is a lot to this film. Is Julie The Worst Person In The World? If you do not want what others want? If you change your mind even though others push back? Even in the face of hurting others?
NO SPOILERS HERE.
Funny thing is...I left this film thinking Reinsve and Lie were fantastic. However I thought the film was just Naaaaa. However..it sticks with you..literally for days. So, in today's age of Marvel greenscreen destruction of the world films, its kind of nice to see a film says so much about life that stays with you, credit goes to Director and Writer Joachim Trier and writer Eskil Vogt. 4 stars out of 5...I can't explain it, but this film says so much without saying it.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
