Anders will soon complete his drug rehabilitation in the countryside. As part of the program, he is allowed to go into the city for a job interview. But he takes advantage of the leave and stays on in the city, drifting around, meeting people he hasn't seen in a long while. Thirty-four-year-old Anders is smart, handsome and from a good family, but deeply haunted by all the opportunities he has wasted, all the people he has let down. He is still relatively young, but feels his life in many ways is already over. For the remainder of the day and long into the night, the ghosts of past mistakes will wrestle with the chance of love, the possibility of a new life and the hope to see some future by morning.

FYI curious parties, Joachim Trier's debut feature Reprise is available on Netflix streaming. There's also a Xixax topic about it in which some Xixaxers say nice things about the movie: http://xixax.com/index.php?topic=10261.0
who are these two guys and why are they doing their best to keep xixax alive?
Madcunts of the year (so far), that's who/why.
Haha, to avoid a potential understandable misunderstanding, it should probably be made clear: for Pubrick, "madcunt" = compliment!

I have to say
european Trouble Young White Male with Existential Crisis movies > American TYWMWEC movies
Wilderesque is fucking great at starting film threads.
I'll check this and Reprise out for sure, thanks sundown
I told told Wilder over a year ago at mubi.com to get his ass over here and he'd fit right in.
This is playing now in New York.

Submarine what at least fun to watch. Oslo 31 August was just boring and dumb and took itself way to serious.
I'm so sorry that I said that - it sounded like nothing I would say now. Submarine wasn't even that existential - the kid was trying to save his parents' marriage. Also I finally met a girl in this stupid city who likes indie films so I'm super excited about this film now.
