Boasting two Oscar nominations — in the International Feature and Original Screenplay races — Joachim Trier’s lauded The Worst Person in the World is continuing a charmed awards-season run that began last July at the Cannes Film Festival, where lead Renate Reinsve won the Best Actress prize. A humanist story that blends comedy and poignant drama, the film centers on Reinsve’s Julie through good times and bad as she seeks to find herself.
Trier and Reinsve both sat down for Deadline’s Contenders Film: The Nominees event, talking about the journey since those first nervous moments on the Riviera. Trier recalls opening night and screening the film for an audience for the first time. On the red carpet, he says, Reinsve started doing twirls as the paparazzi went crazy and while he thought, “Wow, she’s gutsy.”
Reinsve says she went for it because in her head it was “the last thing we’ll do with this movie, this is our great moment walking on this red carpet. I couldn’t believe we were there and now this almost a year has been a whirlwind and so overwhelming and so exciting. It’s crazy.”
Given it’s been a while since that first screening, what have Trier and Reinsve learned from the reception of the film in various areas? For Reinsve, she was surprised to see that women of different ages really clicked with the story. “Every time I’ve talked to someone new, they seem to have a very personal experience with the movie,” she said.
Trier adds that in “many places in the world people are identifying with it, and that’s really moving… I think we were going to Cannes talking a lot about the romantic comedy aspects of it. In a strange Scandinavian weird way, this is a romantic comedy in our part of the world — you know, we’re riffing off
Olivia Rodrigo had an eventful Tuesday night.
When The Worst Person in the World premiered in competition in Cannes this year there was the sense of an arrival, notably in the case of its leading lady, Renate Reinsve, who won the festival’s award for best actress. In actual fact, the film was closer to a destination, being the third part of an unofficial triptych begun by Norwegian director Joachim Trier with his 2006 feature debut Reprise, about two young bohemian writers living in Oslo. He followed it in 2011 with Oslo, August 31st, in which Reprise’s star, Anders Danielsen Lie, by day a successful medical doctor, played a melancholic drug addict and Reinsve made her acting debut with just one line of dialogue (“Let’s go to the party!”).
The summer is known for big studio blockbusters, but for many fans of The Criterion Collection, releases are in store for something special in June as they’ve announced six additions are coming in glorious 4K UHD. Criterion presents a group of films that includes Joachim Trier’s charming Oscar contender, “The Worst Person in the World”; Hong Kong master Stanley Kwan’s romantic ghost story, “Rouge”; Ekwa Msangi’s remarkable debut feature debut, “Farewell Amor”; and “Shaft,” the blaxploitation action-hero classic from Gordon Parks that helped launched serious black-led action films, now on 4K UHD.
