Among the favorites for the awards, which will conclude tonight’s 79th Cannes Film Festival, is the film Vaterland (Oetjennja) by Polish director Paweł Pawlikowski. The black-and-white film weaves together political history and the intimate relationship between a father and daughter, writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika, who travel from Frankfurt to Weimar in their homeland, which is in ruins in 1949. Deadline magazine described the film as “a model of artistic discipline.” The film All of a Sudden (Nenadoma) by Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi has also won numerous awards.
The film is a quiet and meditative film that tells the story of a director of an old people’s home in Paris who wants to introduce a new method of care, but encounters resistance.
