Nearly a decade has spanned between Joachim Trier‘s three features to date, but the good news is he’s picking up the pace. The Norwegian filmmaker has his next film ready to go, “Thelma,” and it sounds like a fascinating new direction for the director who until now has focused on intimate character dramas.

Starring Eili Harboe, Okay Kaya, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Henrik Rafaelsen, Vanessa Borgli, Ingrid Giæver, Anders Mossling, Jonas Jörgensen, Steinar Klouman Hallert, Grethe Eltervåg, Marte Magnusdotter Solem, Oskar Pask, Ludvig Algeback, Vidar Fransson, and Ian Twedmark, the supernatural thriller follows a young woman who suddenly discovers she has terrifying, mysterious powers after she falls in love. That’s super intriguing.
There’s no U.S. distribution or release date for the film yet, but it opens in Norway on October 27th. [Indiewire]
I think you’re forgetting that Trier also directed Oslo, August 31st, which came out in 2011. So, that bit of trivia to start your story, while still true, really means nothing. It would be like saying ” Can you believe it was nearly 50 years between Scorsese’s Who’s That Knocking at my Door and Silence? The man really needs to pick up the pace”.
