“Sets a new gold standard for romantic comedy just before it sneaks up and hits you like a shot in the heart.” — Rolling Stone Senior Programmer Megan Costello revisits one of the universally acclaimed world cinema gems from our 2021 edition last fall. Joachim Trier's THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD features a star-making turn from Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve. Watch THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD: https://hulu.tv/3QGDAm2 __ Julie (Renate Reinsve) is restlessly cycling through career paths, relationships and the taxing realities of existence. As she goes hurtling into her 30s, she’s left wondering: when will life really begin, and what is her true purpose? Framed around Julie’s delightful indecisiveness, we follow four years of ups and downs, featuring two important relationships and a handful of what ifs. This darkly comedic journey from director Joachim Trier (LOUDER THAN BOMBS, HIFF 2015) is a biting take on romantic comedy in the modern age, and earned Reinsve the Best Actress Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. __ As we lead up to our expanded 30th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival—October 7-16, 2022—we are revisiting our first 30 years with a look back at some of the most memorable films from past editions of HIFF: https://bit.ly/hiffthefirst30
