Youth leads with five nominations; A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence and The Lobster each have four.
Paulo Sorrentino’s Youth leads the nominees for the 28th European Film Awards (EFAs), which will be presented on December 12 in Berlin.
Youth has five nominations including film, directing and screenplay, as well as acting nominations for Rachel Weisz and Michael Caine.
Closely on its heels with four nominations each are Roy Andersson’s surreal comedy A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence, and Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster.
Following with three nominations each are Sebastian Schipper’s Victoria and Andrew Haigh’s 45 Years.
The noms for the European Film of the Year are Deniz Gamze Erguven’s Mustang (France/Turkey) and popular Icelandic drama Rams directed by Grimur Hakonarson.
Documentary nominees are A Syrian Love Story by Sean McAllister; Amy by Asif Kapadia; Dancing With Maria by Ivan Gergolet; The Look of Silence by Joshua Oppenheimer, and Toto and His Sisters by Alexander Nanua.
The nominees were announced at the Seville European Film Festival today, against the stunning backdrop of the Guadalquivir river and cathedral spires behind. The ceremony’s biggest cheer was reserved for Spanish actress Laia Costa, nominated for her role in Victoria.
More than 3,000 EFA members will now vote on the winners.
