Podcast notes


In this episode of Notes on Looking, I spend a few minutes with Joachim Trier’s The Worst Person in the World and the question of scripts: the lives we think we are choosing, the lives we inherit, and the lives we enter because the river is already moving. Julie fears being swept into a life that is not hers, while Aksel, near the end, realises that his apparent stability was also a script. The film is not about finding yourself in any clean way. It is about drift, choice, time, love, damage, and the quiet difficulty of recognising the life that has carried you.
