The Norwegian director Joachim Trier has been around the world with his latest film The World’s Worst Man, which has now finally landed in Danish cinemas after a year of standing ovations in Cannes, two Oscar nominations and already great success on the big screen.
‘The World’s Worst Man’ is about the soon-to-be 30-year-old Julie, who has not yet figured out what she wants or who she wants to be. In the role of Julie is seen Renate Reinsve, who won the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, while also receiving a BAFTA nomination for her performance.
The comedy-drama is a portrait of the eventful adult life of the late 20s and its crossroads, where great and defining choices about the course of the future must be made.
We met Joachim Trier to talk about his cinematic film, which is largely based on his own experiences and observations. Therefore, ‘The World’s Worst Man’ has also become a work with a high possibility of resonance in the audience.
Reviewer for Børsen, Michael Solgaard, writes, among other things, that “there is so much identification in ‘The World’s Worst Man’ that most men and women between the ages of 20 and 60 in Scandinavia’s big cities can see themselves in the main characters.”
‘The World’s Worst Man’ can be seen in cinemas now.
