Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Trier's 'Oslo Trilogy' completes here, with Reinsve returning from The Worst Person in the World — this time as someone who maybe IS the worst person in the family.
Skarsgård based Gustav's theatrical mannerisms on late-career Bergman interviews, creating a meta-commentary on Scandinavian cinema's own daddy issues.
