Enter Fleabag into your search engine of choice and the Norwegian equivalent comes back as ‘Loppepose’. A far more elegant translation than that, though, comes via this terrifically moving and wildly amusing romantic dramedy from Thelma (2017) helmer Joachim Trier, a conclusion to an Oslo-set trilogy which began with his 2006 debut feature Reprise and continued five years later with 2011’s Oslo, August 31st.
Chances are you are more familiar with the work of Trier’s distant relative Lars than you are with Trier himself, a filmmaker whose best-known credit to date is probably 2015’s Englishlanguage Jesse Eisenberg starrer Louder Than Bombs. Yet prior knowledge of his oeuvre is certainly not needed to appreciate a film whose endearingly flighty hero Julie (the sublime Renate Reinsve) makes Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hedonistic café owner look like a paragon of virtuous restraint.

Snow Time to Die - Red One J.K. Simmons' Santa gets kidnapped. Luckily, Dwayne Johnson's on hand to save him...
If 2022's Violent Night gave us Die Hard in a Santa suit, Jake Kasdan's Red One could be retitled North Pole Has Fallen. The world imagined by Kasdan finds Saint Nick kidnapped two days before Christmas Eve. It's up to Dwayne Johnson's head of security, Callum Drift, and Chris Evans' unscrupulous hacker-for-hire, Jack O'Malley, to hunt down the man in red in time for the big day.
Back With a Vengeance - Sir Ridley Scott returns to the Colosseum with Gladiator II, the long-awaited sequel to the greatest historical epic of this century. Total Film meets the director and cast to discover how Maximus' legacy is echoing in eternity.
Ridley Scott is not a filmmaker to repeat himself. It's a trait that's all the more remarkable when you consider how prolific he's been over the nearly five decades since his feature debut, 1977's The Duellists. Alien prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are the only times he's gone back to the same world, and those films are radical departures from the original.
Bad Romance - Timestalker Alice Lowe falls in love with the wrong man time and time again...
Her antidote to that? Timestalker a dark not-quite-romcom set over the course of centuries. Her protagonist Agnes finds herself attracted to the same man, Alex (Dunkirk's Aneurin Barnard), in every lifetime as she's reincarnated in the 1680s, 1790s, 1980s and the 22nd century. As romantic as that may sound, there's a bit of a catch: 'He's sort of a dickhead. On the surface he's appealing, but under, he's not.'
