Oslo, August 31st
Directed by Joachim Trier
Written by Joachim Trier and Eskil Vogt
Norway, 2011
The awkwardness and pain a person can feel from forever being an outsider reverberates strongly in Oslo, August 31st, a Norwegian film that earns its dark emotions by never being excessively melodramatic. Director and co-writer Joachim Trier paints a bleak and honest portrait of a man who’s closer to a ghost than a living, breathing human, unsure of how to connect despite desperately reaching out to relate to anyone. Star Anders Danielsen Lie is able to get across a vast amount of emotions more with body language and facial expressions than with dialogue, centered around his character’s wounded history.
Lie plays Anders, a recovering drug addict preparing for a job interview in Oslo that may help him turn his life around. Anders ostensibly wants to rejoin the modern world, after being nearly a...

Anders (Anders Danielsen Lie) marches through the forest, his famished-looking frame shrouded by the brittle branches imposing his personal space. As he approaches a river, he collects rocks — small ones here, slightly larger ones there — and stuffs them into the pockets of his black leather coat. He then lifts a bulky stone, the size of a robust baby, off the ground and carries it with him into the water. This incident occurs early on in Joachim Trier‘s Oslo, August 31st, and it speaks to this writer-director’s remarkably nimble sense of temporality that we’re not quite sure whether our beaten-down hero is going to come out from under the water.
It’s a nimbleness that was so beautifully displayed in Trier‘s altogether phenomenal first feature, Reprise, and it’s one that carries over heavily into this lyrically worthy follow-up. The specific sense of time, however, is an...

Director: Joachim Trier Writers: Joachim Trier, Eskil Vogt, Pierre Drieu La Rochelle Starring: Anders Danielsen Lie, Hans Olav Brenner, Ingrid Olava, Anders Borchgrevink, Andreas Braaten, Malin Crépin, Petter Width Kristiansen The title of writer-director Joachim Trier's film -- Oslo, August 31st -- obviously sets the time and place for us, but the date and location are also quite integral to the meaning of the story. August 31st represents the end of the summer, the last natural breath of life before the inevitable decline towards death. It is a melancholic time for contemplation, thinking back about the frivolous fun of the summertime. While thinking of the past, Oslo represents a city with a long history that finds itself in a transitional moment of reconstruction and rebirth. The city is riddled with construction cranes and demolition sites, as the old is being torn down and new structures are constructed in their place.
