Review of Oslo, August 31st (2011) by Seth L — 26 May 2012
Extraordinary. melancholy. beautiful.
A keenly insightful script and a tour de force performance by anders danielsen lee about a character traversing the unique (yet universal) existential plight with the past, desire, temptation, love, lust, friendship, family, and the banalities of day to day life in a secular world.
His tranquil resignation is affecting and haunting.
Trainspotting.
Infinite jest.
Oslo, august 31st.
A barren, chilly score adds to the gravitas.
A stunning achievement in film.
[only the second movie i've awarded the full five stars to this year].
