Oslo, August 31st is loosely based on the novel Le feu follet (1931) by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, which was filmed in 1963 by Louis Malle.In his film, Trier (a distant cousin of Lars Von Trier) refers openly to the French nouvelle vague with a deceptive light-footedness, an underlying melancholy but with the penetrating clarity of Norwegian light and a thoroughly contemporary approach.

SOUND LAB
- ATMOS is AUDIBLE when we're in the scene
- ATMOS fades out when we're in his head
- LOW-FREQUENCY RUMBLE puts us IN HIS VEINS
- The place with special acoustic properties has an ECHO
- The sound design is both REALISTIC (mundane) and UNREALISTIC (PSYCHOLOGICAL)
Summary
Diegetic sound is heard by both the audience and the characters, unlike non-diegetic sound which is used purely for the audience's benefit

Melancholy
The New Wave (French: Nouvelle Vague), also called the French New Wave, is a French art film movement that emerged in the late 1950s. The movement was characterized by its rejection of traditional filmmaking conventions in favor of experimentation and a spirit of iconoclasm. New Wave filmmakers explored new approaches to editing, visual style, and narrative, as well as engagement with the social and political upheavals of the era, often making use of irony or exploring existential themes. The New Wave is often considered one of the most influential movements in the history of cinema.
