Ida Nominated for the European Film Awards
Ida by Paweł Pawlikowski is among the contenders for the European Film Awards, along with Turkey’s Winter Sleep and Russia’s Leviathan, both of which won at Cannes and will represent their countries in the competition for the Oscar for best foreign-language film.
Although Ida has scored 5 nominations in the most important categories, including for best picture and two nods for actresses Agata Trzebuchowska and Agata Kulesza, it’s still going to face stiff competition. Apart from the Turkish and Russian films, its competitors for best picture are the Swedish Force Majeure by Ruben Ostlund and Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac Director’s Cut – Volume 1 & 2 with Charlotte Gainsbourg nominated for best actress.
Ida has already received many prestigious awards and has been distributed in dozens of countries around the globe, including Spain, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Belgium and Germany. Paweł Pawlikowski’s film was also a great financial success in French and American cinemas. In France, the film was viewed by almost 500,000 people (compared to barely 110,000 in Poland in the same time), and it has already earned almost 4 million dollars in the USA, thus becoming one of the two most watched non-English language films (along with the Indian Taste of Curry).
The European Film Awards is one of the most important stepping stones to an Oscar nomination for European films. Ida is one of the favourites of both the European contest and this year’s edition of the American Academy Awards. Perhaps Paweł Pawlikowski is to be the first Polish director awarded for the best non-English language film. Despite eight Polish films being nominated for Oscars for foreign language film, none has received the Oscar statuette yet.
