Day Job
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
One of the year's most acclaimed movies, Joachim Trier's Oslo, August 31st, from Norway, is a deceptively simple drama that takes place over the course of one day. Recovering addict Anders (Anders Danielsen Lie) checks out of a treatment center to go on a job interview. While he's out, he looks up a few old friends, goes to a party, meets a girl, and generally re-assesses his life. It may seem like a heavy-handed "issue" film, but instead it's a story about life's lost moments, and the precious few we do manage to catch.
