The second feature from Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, this wicked comedy is a deliciously dark portrait of a toxic relationship that landed on John Waters’ Top Ten List in 2022. In Artforum, he described SICK OF MYSELF this way: “ A pair of narcissistic lovers can’t stop competing for the public’s attention. He’s a sculptor who uses furniture he steals as material, and she takes recalled poison medication on purpose to make her skin break out in rashes and boils so she can become a model with disabilities. No, it’s not Female Trouble, but it’s just as nuts. Pretty? Pretty? Pretty fucked up!”
With a delectable pair of performances at its center, SICK OF MYSELF plumbs the merciless depths of its protagonists’ narcissism for an uproarious modern fable.
