*Oslo, August 31st* is a 2011 Norwegian drama film directed by Joachim Trier. It serves as the second installment in Trier's Oslo trilogy, following *Reprise* (2006) and preceding *The Worst Person in the World* (2021). The film centers on a middle-aged man returning to Oslo after years of addiction and personal turmoil, as he reconnects with old friends and confronts unresolved issues from his past. Trier's work is described as a homage to, and loosely inspired by, Pierre Drieu La Rochelle's novel *Will O' the Wisp* (1931) and Louis Malle's film *The Fire Within* (1963).
