The actor Renatereinsve, star of Joachim Trier's TheWorstPersonintheWorld, talks to NancyMeyers—her new fan and director of rom-com classics like 'Something's Gotta Give' and 'It's Complicated.'
. She already knew the Norwegian director, because 10 years prior he had cast her in a bit part in his breakout film,. The movie was the first entry in his so-called Oslo Trilogy, and Reinsve had exactly one line. But Trier saw something in her, and when it came time to cast the lead in the third part of his trilogy, Reinsve was his only choice.premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year, and Reinsve, who’d never carried a movie before, took home the award for best actress.
MEYERS: Being a writer-director, I’ve been on the other side of that, where I meet with actors and I’m looking for that, too. And speaking of actors working with directors, I read that you watched Diane Keaton movies and interviews to help you prepare.MEYERS: I’ve made four movies with her, and the funny thing is, the first time I saw your movie, I texted her the next morning and said, “Hey, I just saw a movie, and there’s an actress in it that reminds me of you.
MEYERS: Agree. I was listening to a podcast where you said that Joachim is really precise, knows what he wants, but also wants to create a free atmosphere. I thought, “I could learn from that.” How does he create an atmosphere that is both free and precise? REINSVE: That’s a good question. Both of her relationships in the movie were written in contrast to each other. Her relationship with Eivind was more physical, raw, and more intuitive. Her relationship with Aksel was more grown up, more intellectual, and felt safer. We were there on set, and at that moment we were like, “This relationship lacks love and happiness, too. We need it.” So a lot of that moving-in sequence is improvised. We did it there and then because we needed it.
REINSVE: We were supposed to shoot not long after I got the script. But then it was pushed twice because of Covid. So I had actually a year to prepare, and I was scared the whole time. I prepared a little bit every day. I couldn’t have a day where I didn’t work on it.MEYERS: I don’t want to spoil anything, but the movie has a remarkable third act. I did not see that coming. When the moment comes where Aksel tells you what you mean to him, well, I was just so moved by that.
