.kristogger on his film 'Sick Of Myself,' 2023's most unforgettable black comedy.
can be an exhausting one to live alongside in life. They cheat out to a camera that’s not there, they turn every conversation back to themselves, and if that’s not enough, they will resort to more shocking grabs for the spotlight: like poisoning themselves for attention.
The script was actually written over the course of many years, and the first iteration started in 2017, through the Norwegian Film Institute, which is very bureaucratic. It's delivering a draft, then waiting three or four months for feedback, and then getting money to write another draft. It took a really long time and it's almost like, I can't really remember the first draft.
I was like, "Okay, so I have these two very different story elements," and then I forced them together. That's kind of how the relationship between Signe and Thomas started appearing. And then I just fell in love with the competition between them. I was like, "Who is the main character?" And that's the battle in the movie. It's them trying to compete to be the main character. That's an idea that was reiterated with the camera work.
It was for the effects of the drugs that she's basically poisoning herself with. In the script it described that she started having spasms and involuntary body shakes and convulsions, and we were not sure how that was going to look on camera and wanting it to look very real. I was toying with the idea that maybe it'd be helpful to use electroshock to create real spasms. And she was down to do it, but asked me if I would try it on myself.
The scene that I'm constantly thinking about is when they're shooting the fashion commercial. What was it like directing actors in a scene like that, something that's so haunting and visceral, but also it's meant to be funny? Yeah, that was natural. Scandinavian society paired with the political correctness of the advertising industry. If she shows up with that horrific face, I don't think anyone would say anything. I think maybe you could whisper something, but you don't want to be the one who's like, "You look fucked up."I think it's an interesting place with the main characters who are so competitive and narcissistic, because that isn't a typical Scandinavian trait.
