“They are all quite self-doubting people,” said Trier about his troubled heroes. “There’s a sense of ambition or failed ambition, and insecurity about how to create purpose and meaning in their lives while feeling stressed by a tremendous sense of expectation.” Admittedly, all of them come from privileged, upper-middle class upbringings with access...

Five years after the success of “Reprise,” Trier made his sophomore effort, “Oslo, August 31st,” a tale depicting how much a single day can mark a person.

He plays slightly different charac...
In between making these intimate dramas set in his own hometown, Trier directed the family saga “Louder Than Bombs” abroad, the supernatural thriller “Thelma” (which, despite also taking place in Norway, showcases another narrative facet), and the art documentary “The Other Munch.” While these undertakings have all found a life of their own, his Os...
