Program Description

Event Details

Join us on Monday evenings for a virtual movie discussion! Before each session, we'll announce a new film choice from Kanopy, a free streaming service accessible with your library card; you can then watch the movie at your leisure and participate in a patron-led discussion via Zoom. We look forward to seeing you there!

Set in contemporary Oslo, this sharp romantic comedy follows Julie (Cannes Best Actress winner Renate Reinsve), a witty and impulsive woman in her thirties, as she ricochets between careers, lovers, and existential doubts. Torn between the stable, older Aksel (Anders Danielsen Lie) and the free-spirited Eivind (Herbert Nordrum), she stumbles through a whirlwind of breakups, hookups, and self-reinvention. With bursts of surreal humor and emotional honesty, her search for meaning becomes both chaotic and painfully relatable. Nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Original Screenplay at the 94th Academy Awards.
