After whittling down from 93 country submissions to a shortlist of 15, the Oscars’ Best International Feature category has its final five nominees, welcoming some familiar faces, and for the first …
I spoke with Sorrentino following the nominations and he said it was “an unbelievable satisfaction that this particular movie is being recognized around the world and by the Academy. It’s a movie about my family and my whole life… When I started to think about this movie, I thought to do a small movie for a few people, for the people of my city. I never had the feeling this could be a movie for a huge crowd… So all this thing happening is really surprising.
When I caught up with Trier in Norway, he was at a bar owned by a friend and having a lunchtime celebration. He expressed surprise, and gratitude, on the Original Screenplay nod. He and co-nominee Eskil Vogt have worked on all Trier’s films since his early shorts through to his features. “This means a lot to us. We made this film in the same personal style that we always have. I’m happy that collaboration is being recognized in this way,” Trier said.
Trier continued that the screenplay “combines a romantic comedy with something melancholic and dramatic, and to try to balance that out has been a long process with Eskil and the team… So I see as a pat on a shoulder that somehow we managed to combine emotions in one film and somehow it’s also nice that it’s being released in cinemas coming back after a pandemic.”
Trier is also “very happy to see the Oscars getting more international. There’s a lot of great cinema coming from around the world, it’s wonderful to see it getting recognized.”
