"Reprise" is a Norwegian film from 2006. It is the first feature-length film directed by Joachim Trier. The script was written over a period of five years together with Eskil Vogt. The leading roles are played by Anders Danielsen Lie, Espen Klouman-Høiner and Viktoria Winge. The film was the Norwegian candidate for the Oscar as best foreign language film in 2006.

Plot

Reprise is a film about friendship, madness and creativity, love and sorrow, great ambitions, and the unpleasant discrepancy between hope and reality. It has a distinct narrative structure, in which recordings are done in black and white using hand-held cameras, and playful montages and voiceovers are put to use. The film can partly be taken as an homage to Francois Truffaut and the French nouvelle vague.

The two 23-year olds Erik and Phillip are dreaming of becoming successful writers. When they both try to get a manuscript published, Erik's is rejected. Phillip, on the other hand, gets his manuscript accepted and overnight he goes on to become a star of the Norwegian literary scene. Phillip meets Kari, with whom he falls in love. Six months later, Erik and his friends pick up Phillip at a psychiatric hospital to bring him home after a long treatment. Erik still hasn't given up his dream, but Phillip isn't able to write anymore, although his friend encourages him to make a new effort. Instead Phillip tries to get his ruined relationship with Kari to start from the beginning again.
