Product Information
First time feature director Joachim Trier crafts a dazzling debut in REPRISE, an inventively constructed tale about the hard truths that divide creative ambition and personal authenticity. The film opens with childhood friends Erik (Espen Klouman Hoiner) and Phillip (Anders Danielsen Lie) preparing to submit their first novels. They imagine a whirlwind future in which they achieve the reclusive cult status of their favorite novelist. In truth, Erik's novel is rejected while Phillip's creates an immediate literary sensation. But the sudden notoriety and his obsessive emotions towards girlfriend Kari (Viktoria Winge) cause Phillip to have a mental breakdown. When Phillip is released from treatment the two friends find that they have traded fortunes, as Erik achieves his own success while Phillip struggles to piece together his fractured life. But Erik's fame also comes at a price, exposing his personal deficiencies and limitations. This will force the two friends to choose between asserting their creative liberty and honestly engaging the complexity of life. Lauded at numerous international film festivals, REPRISE jumps back and forth in time to show how the past is always present in our words and deeds. Trier and his talented ensemble are similarly skillful in showing how personal dreams and fantasies become the masks we must discard in order to reveal our true selves.Product Identifiers
