L'Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences ha appena rivelato la lista completa dei film candidati per l'ambìto Oscar al Miglior Film Straniero, premio che lo scorso anno è stato vinto dall'Ungheria con Il figlio di Saul di László Nemes.
Quest'anno la giuria si troverà di fronte alla bellezza di 85 titoli da selezionare, una cifra mai vista nella storia degli Academy, che va a superare il record degli 83 film che furono candidati nel 2014.
L'Italia - come già sappiamo - partecipa con Fuocoammare di Gianfranco Rosi, il documentario che si propone di raccontare - attraverso gli occhi di un ragazzino - il dramma di tutti gli uomini, le donne e i bambini che rischiano, e molto spesso perdono la vita, per attraversare il mare fino a Lampedusa.

Fuocoammare ha già conquistato l'Orso d'oro per il miglior film al Festival di Berlino, quindi potrebbe avere buone possibilità di ottenere almeno una nomination come Miglior Film Straniero agli Academy Awards, nonostante la concorrenza di quest'anno sia davvero agguerrita.
Tra i titoli da segnalare possiamo sicuramente citare il favorito Elle di Paul Verhoeven (Francia), Neruda di Pablo Larrain (Cile), It’s Only the End of the World di Xavier Dolan (Canada), The Salesman di Ashgar Farhadi (Iran), Land of Mine di Martin Zandvliet (Danimarca), Toni Erdmann di Maren Ade (Germania), Julieta di Pedro Almodóvar (Spagna) e Afterimage di Andrzej Wajda (Polonia).
