synopsis
The chronicles of four years in the life of Julie, a young woman who navigates the troubled waters of her love life and struggles to find her career path, leading her to take a realistic look at who she really is.
Trier reframes the chronologies of Julie’s life in fresh ways, freeing the story from judgmental narrative conventions. Having explored the lows of depression in "Oslo, August 31st" and the heights of early fame in his debut feature "Reprise", Trier and his screenwriting partner Eskil Vogt craft a character study that sits with the nuances and contradictions of love and living that all too often are explained away.
Vienna Film Festival
Trier has taken on one of the most difficult genres imaginable, the romantic drama, and combined it with another very tricky style – the coming-of-ager – to craft something gloriously sweet and beguiling.
The Guardian
Reinsve grounds the film in her ongoing journey of self-discovery, with all its shifting desires and realigned priorities.
