According to the NFI press release, Trier’s sixth film is about a close, poignant and funny story about loneliness and family, about the reconciling power of art, told with original narrative techniques where memories and contemporary times are woven together.
– This is a project that is looking for moments of human awareness that are worth looking for. The characters align well with History, Resistance, and Will. The points of intersection meet their different interests and needs, consultant Tom Gulbrandsen at the Norwegian Film Institute says in the press release.
No official date or title has been set for the next film premiere from the creators of The Worst Person in the World. The film’s total budget is around NOK 81 million.
