Oslo, August 31st

The Brief

Set against the backdrop of Oslo, Joachim Trier presents a quiet yet complex portrait of Anders — a man on the verge of giving up, who may, or may not, find a reason to keep going. Told with a playful and precise cinematic language, the film captures a single day that feels like a lifetime. It is the second part of Trier’s Oslo Trilogy on alienation, between Reprise and The Worst Person in the World.
