Celebrate Oslo, August 31st! Pre-order existential detours today for a new preview about the film.
Hello Reader,
It's August 31st, and if you've been following Seventh Row, you know it's time for our annual celebration of Joachim Trier's Oslo, August 31st, our #1 film of the 2010s.
A big part of what makes Trier's films so psychologically complex is his co-writer and best friend Eskil Vogt. I've talked to Vogt many times about their work over the years, and it always leaves me feeling like not only has he taken the characters to therapy, but possibly me, too, along the way. Psychological insights galore. Plus, a lot of insights into the technical aspects of writing great dialogue — and few ever reach the heights of Vogt's dialogue.
If you pre-order the book today, you can read our interview with Eskil Vogt on Oslo, August 31st immediately: a great viewing companion to the film. We can't wait for you to read this really remarkable interview.
