Award-winning Norwegian film 'Reprise', which was selected for last year's London Film Festival, will screen at two London cinemas for a week in September.
'Reprise' is a film about friendship, madness and creativity, about love and sorrow, great ambitions and the often unpleasant clash between youthful presumptions and reality with a great soundtrack including hits from Joy Division and The Jam.
The film follows Phillip, Eric and their friends using an exciting filmic language that reflects the narrative culture typical of a gang of 23-year-old boys. Reprise can be seen as a subtle reflection on youth as a time of promise, plans and hopes which gradually dissolve under the impact of life experiences.
'Reprise' is Joachim Trier’s debut film - a former skateboarding champion, he attended the National Film & Television School in London and is currently working on an English language film. 'Reprise' won the Diesel Discovery award at Toronto in 2006.
