the best actress award at Cannes, but the two actually started their collaboration in 2011 on “Oslo, August 31st” – Reinsve’s very first film.
Trier, who wrote the story with Eskil Vogt, completing his “Oslo trilogy,” created the role of Julie with Reinsve in mind.“And we are not even born in Oslo – I was born in Copenhagen.

You always pushed me to lose control, but it wasn’t about me delivering a good performance. It was about all of us, finding something interesting within every scene. You know the term GOAT, Joachim, the Greatest of All Time? You are the GOAT of Norway,” she said.
While not exactly religious, Trier wanted to explore the concept of destiny in the film, something he already touched upon in 2006 “Reprise.”
