Oscars 2022 – ALLIANCE OF WOMEN FILM JOURNALISTS

THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD – Review by Susan Granger

February 9, 2022February 12, 2022 Susan Granger Anders Danielsen Lie, Eskil Vogt, Joachim Trier, Kasper Tuxen, norwegian films, Oscars 2022, Renate Reinsve

This turgid romantic melodrama from Norway became one of the top contenders for Best International Feature of 2021 – after Vanity Fair and The Atlantic declared it the Best Movie of the Year. To say capricious twentysomething Julie (Renate Reinsve) is confused is an understatement. Divided into 12 tedious chapters, plus a prologue and epilogue, her story begins as she’s impetuously quitting medical school because she finds it too much like carpentry.
