Jake Gittes Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Ida and Two Days, One Night seem most likely to me, but then again after they snubbed Wadjda who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShouldIBeHere Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It premiered in Toronto... movie about a survivor of Auschwitz who returns home, even her own husband doesn't recognize her anymore and thinks she is a look-alike. She soons finds out that he might have been the one who told the Gestapo where she was hiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Apparently looks like they were one of the earliest countries to submit a film actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Russia just submitted Leviathan, which seems like the best and most reasonable choice in years. Wouldn't be shocked to see it nominated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) i've only seen films by the dardennes (l'enfant & le fils), xavier dolan (je tué me mere), abderrahmane sissako (bamako) and nuri bilge ceylan (bir zamanlar anadolu'da). outside of those people, i've only heard of bertrand bonello, andrey zvyagintsev and tua fraser. dead lands could have had a chance, being the first feature film entire in maori ever made, but it seems to be getting reasonable poor reviews.

Jake Gittes Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'd give the edge to Ida at this point, but yeah, I'm starting to think Leviathan could pull off a win too. Which would be great to see considering its supposed content, even though I'm no big fan of Zvyagintsev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be great to see considering its supposed content, even though I'm no big fan of Zvyagintsev. the opposite for me but we already had this discussion before imo it would be criminal seeing 'Elena' & 'the Return' not being nommed & this film is Im certain abt Ida at this point but hoping for a 'Wild tales' upset Satellites FL nominees FORCE MAJEURE Sweden GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM Israel IDA Poland LEVIATHAN Russia LITTLE ENGLAND Greece MOMMY Canada TANGERINES Estonia TIMBUKTU Mauritania TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT Belgium WILD TALES Argentina Spirits FL noms "Force Majeure" (Sweden) - Director: Ruben Ostlund "Ida" (Poland) - Director: Pawel Pawlikowski "Leviathan" (Russia) - Director: Andrey Zvyagintsev "Mommy" (Canada) - Director: Xavier Dolan "Norte, the End of History" (Philippines) - Director: Lav Diaz "Under the Skin" (United Kingdom) - Director: Jonathan Glazer I doubted Mommy but more & more it appears on lists I started to have faith!
