Anders Danielsen Lie takes it one step at a time in Oslo, August 31.
The Norwegian drama film Oslo, August 31 takes a look at one day in the life of a young recovering drug addict.
Anders (Anders Danielsen Lie) is on the verge of successfully completing treatment at a drug rehab in the countryside. As part of the program, he is allowed to go into Oslo for a job interview but instead uses the opportunity to revisit friends and old haunts. The 34-year-old Anders is smart, handsome and from a good family, but deeply haunted by all the opportunities he has wasted and all the people he has let down. For the remainder of the day and long into the night, he will wrestle with the chance of love and the possibility of a new life.
Directed and co-written by Joachim Trier, the 2011 Oslo was screened at major film festivals around world, popping up at at fests in Cannes, Toronto, Athens, Stockholm, Sundance, New York and São Paulo, among other cities. It subsequently received positive reviews when it received a limited roll-out to theaters in the U.S. in May, 2012.
