If you loved The Worst Person in the World, try Oslo, August 31st
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Oslo, August 31st has roughly 3.5× fewer votes than The Worst Person in the World — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Joachim Trier, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Worst Person in the World, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Oslo, August 31st is
Oslo for a day meets Last Chance U. A rehab day pass drops a relapsed addict back into the city that made him. He drifts between old haunts and new faces, the clock ticking toward the one night he can’t outrun. The city becomes both mirror and maze, his fragile clarity the only compass.
