Fantasy/Drama. Norway, France, Denmark, Sweden 2017, 116 min. Directed by Joachim Trier. Starring: Eili Harboe, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Henrik Rafaelsen. In Norwegian with Russian subtitles. On 18 November, as part of Pioner and Mastercard “Priceless Cities in Cinema” festival, we will host a pre-release screening of "Thelma," a film by Norway's biggest contemporary director, Joachim Trier ("Louder than Bombs"). Thelma grew up in a religious family, and for the first time, she is leaving her family home, in order to move to Oslo and study at university. Raised in strict conditions, she doesn't give in to the temptations of the big city, but quickly grows attached to her classmate, Anja. She brings Thelma into her social circle, and the girls become friends. But Thelma is ashamed of her feelings, and in addition, she begins to have strange and inexplicable seizures. This romantic, sometimes mystical thriller was filmed in dream-like contemporary Oslo – one of the capitals of Scandinavian design, but behind whose minimalist façade hide irrational passions and storms of uncontrollable emotion. The film's world premiere took place in September at the Toronto Film Festival.
