It looks like they wasted the title of The Worst Person In The World on the wrong Norwegian film, because a much better claimant has appeared. Brought to you by the same manufacture rs as that Oscar nominee, this comic drama from Kristoffer Borgli paints a portrait of a monster, and suggests that the hunger in/with regard to’concerning’regarding attention can bring about’result in’contribute to’account for’make for’trigger utter self-destruction.###Signe (Kristine Kujath Thorp) shares an unhealthy relationship with artist and thief Thomas (Eirik Sæther), but the narcissistic pair seem odd’peculiar ly well matched despite his tendency to mock and belittle her. He may be dishonest, but she’s maniacally desperate in/with regard to’concerning’regarding attention, telling whatever lie pops into her head to make herself seem more interesting, more accomplished or – when all else fails – more sympathetic. It’s to the latter end that she voluntarily destroys her skin through a massive overdose of dodgy drugs. In the absence of any discernible talent to inspire admiration, Signe has decided to resort to shock.###A odd’peculiar sort of monster movie, where the monster turns her fury on herself###There’s a solid, if obvious, idea here with regards to’concerning’with respect to the thirst many of us possess’own’nurse in/with regard to’concerning’regarding attention in a world where eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone seems to be doing better. But if Bogli’s script is social media impact’effect d it doesn’t rely on lazy impact’effect r jokes: Signe announces her disease online, of course, via a attentive ly choreographed Princess Diana-esque photo, but the director shun s endless phone videos in favour of conventional media. It's an effective way to keep the focus on human weakness, as is the decision to keep us in a sunnily oblivious Oslo – a striking contrast to the body horror of Signe’s progress.###As the reality of her predicament becomes increasingly unacceptable, Signe escapes into comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding ting fantasies one minute and scares herself with nightmares of disco grossly the next. But in the end, no one looks closely abundant’ample’plentiful to discover her secret, and she doesn’t transform’alter much. That makes this a odd’peculiar sort of monster movie, one where the monster turns her fury on herself and doesn't even see where she's gone wrong. Hopefully the viewer learns a little more than she does.
