Reprise (Oslo Trilogies by Joachim Trier)

Show & Culture

Erik and Philip have been best friends since childhood and both want to become writers. While Erik’s manuscript is rejected by publishers as lacking in talent, Philip is eagerly welcomed and overnight becomes a young star in Norway’s literary scene… “Light and dark, melancholic and funny, self-centered and universal, the film is all that and more, a first feature skillfully executed by Trier.” (Cineuropa) “Drawing inspiration from the young-artists-in-angst tales of Godard, Truffaut and the French new wave, Joachim Trier's Reprise is both a charming homage and a vibrant work in its own right.” (Philadelphia Inquirer) “Anders Danielsen Lie, gives a performance that's as distinctive as any in recent memory -- casually witty, remarkably graceful and yet terrifying in its explosiveness.” (Wall Street Journal)
