- From riots in modern Paris to beekeeping in North Macedonia, Oscar nominations on Monday for the best international feature film spanned a vast range of topics.Led by dark social satire “Parasite” from South Korea, members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also honored films from Poland, France and Spain.
“Parasite,” about the vast gap between rich and poor in South Korea, boosted an international winning streak that includes a Golden Globe, with six Oscar nods, including the coveted best picture prize, best director for Bong Joon Ho, and best screenplay in addition to its best international feature nomination.
Spain is represented by director Pedro Almodovar’s semiautobiographical “Pain and Glory,” about depression and the creative process. The movie, which also stars Penelope Cruz, also won a first Oscar nod for lead actor Antonio Banderas. Poland’s “Corpus Christi” is a slow-burn drama about a young man with a criminal background who later passes himself off as a priest.
