  • Summary

  • Joachim Trier's much-lauded 'The Worst Person In The World' takes only a passing interest in the actions of its female lead, Julie, played well by Renate Reinsve. In this spoiler-free analysis I argue that despite Reinsve's acting, the character is poorly imagined because the film's writing is powered by masculine disinterest and a Scandinavian 'clever' bloodless approach. The film appears to be reflect the concerns of older men (closer to the filmmakers in age/life-context) and doesn't really succeed in illuminating the experiences of a young, Norwegian woman who the film appears to foreground. I talk about why and how this dissonance translated itself to me as an audience. And ask if we can we put all of it down to the film merely critiquing the anxieties of this 'hyper-mediated' age? Tune in to find out.
