SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Anders will soon complete his drug rehabilitation in the countryside. As part of the program, he is allowed to go into the city for a job interview. But he takes advantage of the leave and stays on in the city, drifting around, meeting people he hasn't seen in a long while. Thirty-four-year-old Anders is smart, handsome and from a good family, but deeply haunted by all the opportunities he has wasted, all the people he has let down. He is still relatively young, but feels his life in many ways is already over. For the remainder of the day and long into the night, the ghosts of past mistakes will wrestle with the chance of love, the possibility of a new life and the hope to see some future by morning.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Talented Norwegian Joachim Trier - distant cousin to the better-known (and Danish) Lars - delivers a wonderful, melancholy character piece that's funny and tender, and as fresh as a breath of Oslo sea air. (...) Rating: **** (out of five)" (Damon Wise: Empire)

----------------------------------------
"'Oslo, August 31st' is quietly, profoundly, one of the most observant and sympathetic films I've seen. (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
“'Oslo, August 31st' has the satisfying gravity of specific experience (...) the film, chilly as it is, is warmed by a love for the city that the filmmaker and the character clearly share" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)
