Set during the summer holidays in Norway, Mauritz Brekke Solberg’s short drama Juli. (July.) is about a group of old high school friends who reconvene to reminisce over their previous shenanigans and inform each other of what the future holds for them. But when a misguided moment of playfulness turns into something sour, an important decision must be made. I’ve labelled Solberg’s film a drama in our title but truth be told it could easily fit the mould of a thriller, dark comedy or even horror at times. It’s that flexibility around how it plays with the parameters of genre that make it such a fascinating watch. Dn spoke with Solberg about the creation of his short film, transposing the feeling of summer timelessness into a screenplay and the constriction of the single-take tonal shift that turns the film on its head.
