In a Better World in Oscar Race for Best Foreign Language Film
In a Better World, movie nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film – that’s the movie we’re going to talk about today.
Markus Rygaard and William Johnk Nielsen in In a Better World
It’s a 2010 Danish drama directed by Susanne Bier and written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen. And, when you have this kind of team on board, you get the final result – awards all over the place!
Premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (September 14, 2010), the movie was also presented at this year’s Sundance Film Festival (few days ago).
When asked, at the Toronto Film Festival, why she decided to change the English title of her latest film “In a Better World” from its original Danish translation “The Revenge,” Susanne Bier told that she was concerned it would be perceived as a horror film.
In a way, “In a Better World” actually fits that bill nicely, not as part of that particular genre, but instead as a well-told parable about on the futile perpetuation of violence.
So, as we said, the film has been selected as the Danish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards and won for Best Foreign Language Film at the 68th Golden Globe Awards.
On 19 January 2011, it made the shortlist for Best Foreign Language Film and on 25 January, it was selected as one of the final five nominees for Oscar.
Check out In a Better World synopsis:
“Two Danish schoolchildren, one meek and unassertive, the other angry and vengeance-prone, forge a friendship with ugly consequences in this cautionary tale . The story opens with physician Anton, working abroad in a Kenyan hospital, where he’s routinely treating female victims of a psychotic thug known as Big Man.

The Golden Globes won’t be so Golden (Updated!)
Reuters has just reported : “The traditional gala ceremony for Hollywood’s annual Golden Globe Awards for film and television will be scrapped in favor of a “press conference” carried live by NBC News, organizers said on Monday.
Cancellation of the usual three-hour-plus show sponsored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association marks the latest casualty of the nine-week-old strike by screenwriters against the major film and TV studios.
Jorge Camara, president of the roughly 90-member HFPA said the group was “very disappointed” about the change.
“We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year’s Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled,” Camara said in a statement.
The Writers Guild of America has said it would picket the Golden Globes unless the studios returned to the bargaining table to resume contract talks that collapsed last month in a labour dispute that hinges on how writers should be paid for work distributed over the Internet.
The WGA’s sister union for performers, the Screen Actors Guild, has said nearly all of its members would boycott the Globes rather than cross picket lines to attend the ceremony, often a key indicator of possible contenders for Hollywood’s top film awards, the Oscars. Continue Reading…
