Opening in cinemas on October 13, 2021, Julie (in 12 chapters), directed by Joachim Trier, is a comedy-drama that explores the personal and amorous dilemmas of a young woman in search of meaning. With an original 12-chapter narrative structure, the film follows Julie, played by Renate Reinsve (winner of the Best Actress award at Cannes), a thirty-something woman full of contradictions, torn between her personal aspirations and her complex romantic relationships. Available on Netflix from October 13, 2024, the film offers a bittersweet reflection on life choices, love and the desire for freedom.
Julie is a young woman in her thirties, living in Oslo, who is still trying to find her way in life. Although talented and resourceful, she feels lost and undecided about her future. She's in a relationship with Aksel (Anders Danielsen Lie), a successful, older, loving cartoonist who wants to start a family. But Julie isn't ready to have children, and decides to break up with Aksel to start a new relationship with the younger, carefree Eivind (Herbert Nordrum). Over twelve chapters, the film follows Julie in her quest for happiness and fulfillment, juggling her career choices, her loves and her own identity, while confronting the reality of adulthood and its uncertainties.
Julie (in 12 chapters) is aimed at an adult audience, especially those who appreciate auteur films that explore the complexity of human relationships and existential questions. Fans of contemporary comedy-dramas focused on introspection will also find an echo to their own questions about life choices and identity. The film's narrative structure, divided into twelve chapters, allows us to follow the key moments in Julie's life with a fluid blend of realism, poetry and humor. Renate Reinsve, as Julie, delivers a nuanced and captivating performance, supported by Joachim Trier's intelligent dialogue and subtle direction. Fans of films like Frances Ha and La La Land will appreciate this intimate exploration of the doubts and hopes of a generation in search of meaning.
Available on Netflix from October 13, 2024, Julie (in 12 chapters) is a dramatic comedy as moving as it is witty, aptly exploring the choices and doubts of a young woman in search of her own truth.
