The Worst Person in the World [LAST SCREENING]

Julie, 30, flirted with psychology and photography before settling on writing. She has a serious boyfriend named Aksel, a graphic novelist 10 years her senior. Their chemistry is undeniable . . . until she meets Elvind and falls madly in love. Through 12 chapters by turns playful and serious, Joachim Trier offers a journey through contemporary womanhood reminiscent of Frances Ha and Fleabag. Whip-smart Julie (the superb Renate Reinsve, Best Actress Award at Cannes), vibrant and ambitious, aims for the top in every area of her life as she battles a modern world that often seems bent on thwarting her. Darkly funny and shot through with pensive melancholy, The Worst Person in the World pulls off the impossible: revitalizing a tired genre — the romantic comedy — while delivering a surprisingly intimate portrayal that blends irony with insight. – FNC
