Joachim Trier

Joachim Trier (Norwegian: [ˈjùːɑˌkɪm ˈtɾìːəɾ]; born 1 March 1974) is a Danish-Norwegian filmmaker. His films have been described as "melancholy meditations concerned with existential questions of love, ambition, memory, and identity." He has received numerous accolades, including the Grand Prix at Cannes Film Festival, as well as nominations for an Academy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, a BAFTA Award, and two Cesar Awards. He is best known for his Oslo trilogy which comprises the films Reprise (2006), Oslo, 31 August (2011), and The Worst Person in the World (2021). For the last film, he was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay at the 94th Academy Awards, with the film also nominated for Best International Feature. He is also known for directing Louder Than Bombs (2015), Thelma (2017), and the documentary The Other Munch (2018).
