We\u2019re taking another dive into the Best International Feature category this week to talk about one of the biggest world cinema successes of the past year, Ruben\u00a0\u00d6stlund. Though he made films before it, 2014 catapulted\u00a0\u00d6stlund with the Cannes premiere of Force Majeure<\/i>, a dark satire of masculinity, and relationships dynamics, and fight-or-flight impulses. The film continued on the fall festival circuit, amassing critical acclaim and advancing to the Foreign Language Film bake-off list as Sweden\u2019s submission. However, on nomination morning, Force Majeure<\/i> missed a heavily-predicted nomination.<\/p>\n
This episode, we discuss\u00a0\u00d6stlund\u2019s reaction video to missing the Oscar nomination and the films that followed, including two Palme d\u2019Or wins and now Picture\/Director\/Screenplay nominations for his Triangle of Sadness<\/i>. We also discuss the immediately pre-COVID American remake Downhill<\/i>, the lack of an International frontrunner in the 2014 race, and other directors who have won multiple Palmes.<\/p>\n
Topics also include this year\u2019s AARP Movies for Grownup awards, shading the International winner that year Ida<\/i>, and sauna moshpitting.<\/p>\n
