Joachim Trier, one of contemporary cinema’s great humanists, excavates layers of history and memory—both national and personal—for this rich, ineffably moving story of one family’s attempts to come to terms with generations of trauma and healing. After the death of their mother, two sisters must contend with the return home to Norway of their estranged father, celebrated filmmaker Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård). In the case of Nora (Renate Reinsve), an actor, he hopes to reconnect by casting her in his new film—a project that both inflicts fresh wounds and reopens old ones. With a virtuoso ensemble cast that also includes Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (in a breakout performance) and Elle Fanning, Trier’s film delicately balances each moment of humor and hurt, conducting a stunning emotional exploration of how the past echoes in the present and art can transform pain into catharsis. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital master, approved by director Joachim Trier, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack New conversation between Trier and filmmaker Mike Mills New selected-scene commentaries by Trier, coscreenwriter Eskil Vogt, production designer Jørgen Stangebye Larsen, and sound designer Gisle Tveito New interviews with actors Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning Deleted scenes Trailer New English subtitle translation and English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by author Karl Ove Knausgård

Description

Renate Reinsve won the Best Actress prize at Cannes for the revelatory, complex performance that anchors this sprawlingly novelistic film by Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier, an emotionally intricate and exhilarating character study of a woman entering her thirties. Amid the seemingly endless possibilities of the modern world, Julie (Reinsve) vacillates between artistic passions and professions, the question of motherhood, and relationships with two very different men: a successful comic-book artist (Trier regular Anders Danielsen Lie) and a charismatic barista (Herbert Nordrum). Working with a team of longtime collaborators, Trier and his perennial cowriter Eskil Vogt construct in The Worst Person in the World, the Oscar-nominated third entry in their unofficial Oslo Trilogy, a liberating portrait of self-discovery and a bracingly contemporary spin on the romantic comedy. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 2K digital master, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack New interviews with director Joachim Trier; coscreenwriter Eskil Vogt; actors Renate Reinsve, Anders Danielsen Lie, and Herbert Nordrum; cinematographer Kasper Tuxen; and sound designer Gisle Tveito On-set footage from the creation of the film’s time-freezing sequence Deleted scenes PLUS: An essay by critic Sheila O’Malley Top About this item Similar From the Brand Reviews The Worst Person in the World (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]
