Films by Joachim Trier, Grand Prix at Cannes, to watch online

Another highlight is the performance of Eili Harboe (from 'The Wave').

It may seem trivial to say this, but life is an eternal learning experience - and 'Verdens verste menneske' makes a small synthesis of this thought. Nominated for two categories at the 2022 Oscars, Best Foreign Film and Best Original Screenplay, the romantic comedy is a generational reflection of many young adults and, without a doubt, one of the best films of the 2021/2022 season. The story makes us reflect that often we find the right person in the wrong relationship and vice versa. The biggest problem is feeling an emptiness every time we meet (or get used to) someone. After all, it is up to us to fill what is empty in us and not in other people. In life, we have infinite possibilities and indecisions. Often, relationships prevent us from seeing that we are only spectators of other people's choices. Decisions are difficult to make, but they are necessary - especially when our priorities in life begin to be distorted.

An intimate and moving exploration of family, memories, and the reconciliatory power of art.

The fractious family of a father and his two sons confront their different feelings and memories of their deceased wife and mother, a famed war photographer.
