1905 Movie Network News As the awards season deepens, various countries are choosing their own films to participate in the best international film Oscar. A few days ago, France decided to select the legal and court-themed film "Saint Omer" to participate in the Oscar competition. The
film is based on a true event - a horrific case of "mother murdering her own daughter". The play was co-written by Alice Diop and Marie Nadiaye, an African-American writer who won the French Goncourt Prize for Literature. The story of young Senegalese immigrant college student Lawrence Colley faces court in the small town of Saint-Omer on charges of murder for leaving her 15-month-old newborn girl on a high-tide seaside beach, causing her to drown.
This young mother is a doctor. It is said that the IQ value is as high as 150, but she made such an unreasonable move. When the trial in France opened in 2016, the case attracted great attention from the French society and media. The media reported the case as a social event, and in addition to being amazed and exaggerated at the fluent and elegant French that black immigrants could speak, they attributed the case to a crazy act bewitched by African witchcraft. The
film won the Grand Jury Prize and Best Film Debut at the Venice Film Festival in 2022. However, judging from the media reputation of the film after its screening in Venice, the whole film is not very entertaining, and the firepower is all focused on the antagonistic relationship between blacks and whites and the lives of immigrants. Participating in the Oscars has little chance of winning.
