The TVI Take
Joachim Trier's 2011 Oslo-set film about a recovering addict on a day-pass from rehab, adapted from Pierre Drieu La Rochelle's 1931 novel Le Feu Follet. The structural commitment to letting the protagonist's single-day confrontation with what his addiction has cost him be the actual subject is the catalog's most-emotionally-direct entry.
Among the most-canonical addiction-and-recovery films of the 2010s.
