Joachim Trier's 'Worst Person in the World' 3rd Anniversary Special Screening!

Directed by Joachim Trier, who won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for two Academy Awards, the romance film 〈Worst Person in the World〉 will have a special screening starting from August 27 (Wednesday) at CGV Art House and independent art theaters to celebrate its 3rd anniversary. 〈Worst Person in the World〉 depicts the painful yet sparkling journey of 'Juli, who wants to stop being a supporting role in her life,' as she rushes toward the next chapter of her life.

The special screening to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of 〈Worst Person in the World〉 is greatly influenced by the 'Joachim Trier Summer' boom. Global musician Charli XCX announced her fandom for the director by displaying the phrase 'Joachim Trier Summer' on the Coachella stage screen, which heightened interest in Joachim Trier. As this phrase quickly spread worldwide, Hollywood star Elle Fanning received intense spotlight by wearing a t-shirt with the slogan at the photo call for Joachim Trier's new film 〈Sentimental Value〉 at the Cannes Film Festival.

The romance film 〈Worst Person in the World〉, fitting the name 'Joachim Trier Summer,' attracted about 50,000 viewers despite the COVID-19 situation at the time of its release, becoming the highest-grossing foreign film released in less than 100 theaters. 〈Worst Person in the World〉 received critical acclaim from the media and critics, with comments such as "The incomprehensible moments experienced by imperfect humans in impossible love are vividly and beautifully portrayed." (Lee Dong-jin, critic), and "When you encounter a work that magically captures the moment love blooms, you just get lost in it, and this film did that." (Jung Si-woo, film journalist).
