The list of Oscar nominations has just been unveiled, highlighting The Power of the Dog, Jane Campion’s dark and psychological western which can boast of twelve nominations, followed closely with Dunes by Denis Villeneuve and his ten quotes. While major studio films are in the spotlight this year, such as the new version of West Side Story signed Steven Spielberg, more intimate works find their place, to the delight of the French. Indeed, France does not have a representative for the foreign film category but it can boast of the presence in the race of CODA with 3 quotesa feature film produced by the French Philippe Rousselet of Vendome Production. It’s about remake of The Aries Family.
Nominated three times in the best categories moviebetter actor in a supporting role Troy Kotsur and better adapted scenariothe feature film CODA broadcast since August on Apple TV+ caused a sensation at the Oscars! This work, whose title is the acronym of Child of dead adult (“hearing child of deaf parents”) uses the same cogs as the original film by Eric Lartigau released in 2014, with Louane, Karin Viard and François Damiens. The story of CODA this time takes place across the Atlantic, in Gloucester, Massachusetts at the Rossi family, a fishing family. As in the work with the French star, in Codathe heroine played by Emilia Jones is the only member of the family who is not deaf and has an undeniable gift for singing.
Proud of this news, producer Philippe Rousselet retweeted a publication by the great singer and songwriter Joni Mitchellin which the main character sings his piece Both Sides Now both with her voice and sign language in front of her family. Chills guaranteed!
