We named Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier's Oslo, August 31st the best film of the 2010s and the lead performance from actor Anders Danielsen Lie as one of the best performances of the 2010s. 

Oslo, August 31st was released in Norway on August 31st, 2011. To celebrate the film's 10th anniversary, we are publishing interviews with three of the filmmakers: director and co-writer Joachim Trier, production designer Jørgen Stangebye Larsen, and actor Anders Danielsen Lie. We will also be re-relasing our podcast on the film, as well as an essay on the film.

We are excited to announce that our next ebook will be an in-depth look at Joachim Trier's films and filmmaking process. The book is due out in early 2022.
