The Hand of God - 1 nomination

 

Best International Feature Film
Italy

Italy's entry for international feature film is Paulo Sorrentino's most personal, semi-autobiographical film where he revisits his family and his hometown with its cast of oddball characters.  His aunt who is just a little off who loves naked sunbathing in front of her entire familly, his loudly bickering parents, and the whole village of folks who helped shape his character.  Tragedy strikes and both of his parents are killed in a freak carbon monoxide poisoning incident, and he must figure out how to go on.

The film will surely make you good or better about your own family!  As always with Sorrentino films, the setting is magnificent. I am definitely ready to take a trip to Naples!  While this is surely not Sorrentino's best film, I enjoyed it.
