The end of the world
This guy gets out of rehab. One of the reasons he’s been there is Oslo, but it’s Oslo he returns to, when leaving.

Life is about to proceed. The lives of others, that is. The guy from rehab slowly understands that he is dead and there is no way of getting back to what he anyway never had. Oslo is merciless.

Strong drama about the hopelessness a person feels while entering middle-age knowing that he has no experiences, no history, except for the well-known feeling of being worthless. Which isn’t an experience in itself. It all ends with a cliffhanger. The chasm is the possibility of getting older.

Drug addiction is tough *sigh*
The opening and closing minutes of Oslo, August 31rst are peerless filmmaking, a simultaneously nostalgic and disturbing slideshow of images from the titular city, which appears as some kind of larger supernatural entity with a will of its own. The film that they bracket is pretty decent too. It’s a quiet slice of cinema verite about Anders, a recovering drug addict.

This isn’t your standard AA-approved narrative of redemption, and that’s what makes it good. Anders discovers that the world outside is frosty, ambivalent towards him, and most of all banal and meaningless. Of course, the difficulty is portraying banality without being banal yourself, and Trier doesn’t entirely succeed here. But it does provide, on top of the more philosophical statement, a great representation of the difficulty of getting back into society after leaving it. Oslo, August 31rst is smart enough to see the social barriers that make the standard addiction narrative so deceitful.

Other than the immediately striking opening, there’s nothing overtly impressive about this film. It has its flaws, such as the ending, which seems contrived compared to everything that’s come before. But it’s a quietly solid picture that certainly deserves a little of your time.
