THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD

A woman who can't decide what she wants spends an entire movie not finding it. The woman's name is Julie, and the movie's divided into 12 chapters, plus a prologue and an epilogue. The title of one of the chapters is "Julie's Narcissistic Circus", and that's the movie in a nutshell. Life's tough when everything's all about you. My favorite chapters were the one where Julie stops time and the one where she and some other people do mushrooms. Norway's official entry for the 2021 Academy Awards.
