Inside the 2011 Cannes Film Festival Day 7: Joachim Trier’s Oslo, August 31st

Date:

August 31st took place on May 18th. After soaking it up on the international circuit with 2006’s Reprise, Joachim Trier moves from what you could call the ideal calling card to a sophisticated sophomore feature focusing on how society’s expectation levels aren’t ideal for every single one of its members. Both a painful and hopeful portrait, actor Anders Danielsen Lie character beautifully lists his generations’ contempt for everything that came before him, and everything that will inscribe itself as future memories. Here’s the world premiere screening presentation and post-screening applause.
