Review of The Worst Person In The World

Norwegian film about a young woman and her relationships. Starts off relatively light and funny, gradually becomes more dark and depressing - not the horror kind, just the misery of everyday life, and the way in which she is acutely depicted as a selfish and manipulative woman - all the more effective because it's not as if she is obviously nasty or uncaring. But her relationships with men are destructive - she's not a femme fatale, she's just easily bored and distracted, and that has horrible consequences for the men who become infatuated with her, because she's attractive and charming.

I note in passing that it's beautifully and cleverly filmed, and that Norway looks great in it, even the city and interior shots. She works in a bookshop, one of her lovers works in a coffee shop, and yet they manage to have a nice apartment. Well, maybe that's fantasy even in Oslo, but it didn't seem so.
