Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier and actor Renate Reinsve collaborated on a portrait of a young woman in transition in her life, struggling to discover who she really wants to be.
Renate Reinsve of “The Worst Person in the World” garnered a best actress prize at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
Reinsve and Trier were sitting together on the patio of a hotel in Beverly Hills during a recent promotional stop in Los Angeles. For as much talking as the two have already done about the film, they enthusiastically share ideas back and forth while answering a journalist’s questions, as if they‘re still discovering new things about their collaboration.
The film’s fluid, energetic style includes showstopping sequences such as Julie imagining her relationship with Aksel going on pause, and the entire city freezing in place along with it, and an uproarious moment in which she has wild hallucinations after eating psychedelic mushrooms with Eivind. “There’s something about Julie,” said Trier. “Without being too academic about this sense of transactionalism, Julie feels she has to prove her value all the time or she has to choose the right thing that will give her the most value in it. She’s trying to find the right guy, the right job, the right identity, and she’s trying to transcend that; her purpose doesn’t have to be measured in any sort of transactional way.
“I was so nervous,” she said. “As an actress because he wanted to write a character who could access both levity and humor, and also tragedy and drama. And I’d done both a lot ... but what if I don’t connect to this role? What if it’s like, ‘This is not me. I cannot do it.’ And I think before page seven, I texted you. The start of the movie then was her sneaking into the wedding. And I was like, ‘OK, I love her.’ I immediately fell in love with her and just started working very hard for a year.
