The international feature film race has always been a minefield for international politics and a vehicle for soft power. With no shortage of drama, scandal and diva antics, it’s basically the Eurovision of the film biz.
The French haven’t been able to claim an Oscar victory in the category since 1993 with Regis Wargnier’s win for “Indochine.” In the past 15 years, only four French films submitted have landed a nomination: Ladj Ly’s “Les Miserables” in 2020, Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s Turkish-language film “Mustang” in 2016, Jacques Audiard’s “A Prophet” starring Tahar Rahim in 2010 and Laurent Cantet’s Palme d’Or-winning “The Class” in 2008.
The Oscar committee in France has been a work in progress since 2019. After opening the committee to industry professionals such as producers and sales agents, the CNC also changed the deadline for submitting films so that movies that world premiere at fall festivals — such as Venice — could also be considered.
The issue appears to be that of transparency with details of the members of the Oscar committee, or the list of films that have been sent to the FFI for consideration, not readily accessible.: “What we need in India is more transparency, as in who are the people in the committee who select it? There has to be a policy in place. They can’t be the same people every year, because then it’s easy for anyone to point a finger and say that your methods are all wrong.
Since 2006, Cinema Italiano has earned just three Oscar nominations, the most recent of which was in 2021 with “The Hand of God” by Paolo Sorrentino, who in 2013 scooped the statuette with “The Great Beauty.” “On the one hand I was delighted for Martone and the film, which I think is very high quality cinema,” he says. “But I wondered – based on the film’s reception in Cannes – whether it can resonate with the sensibility of a U.S. audience,” Mereghetti adds.
While “Nostalgia’s” U.S. distributor hasn’t yet been announced, “Eight Mountains” was acquired by Janus Films and Sideshow, which released last year’s international Oscar winner “Drive My Car.” The structure of the Danish Oscar committee hasn’t much changed in years. It’s still chaired by Claus Ladegaard, CEO of the Danish Film Institute, and includes a total of eight people, two of whom come from the Danish Film Institute, and six annually rotating members from different guilds, ranging from producers to exhibitors to critics.
