After countless misfires and successive committee readjustment, France will win its first Oscar for Best International Feature in more than thirty years with Jacques Audiard's "Emilia Perez". But at the last minute of a movie worthy, the chance of “Emilia Perez” won the figurine because the offensive tweets of Karla Sofia Gascon was surrounded by scandals. Ultimately, nothing can stop Brazil from winning Walter Salles’ heartfelt family legend “I’m still here.”

Among other things, France’s misfortune in this category is often blamed for French films to choose from, so there is a lot of error. It seems France will face once again the embarrassment of wealth and some heated discussions within its election committee.

At this point, no films have been submitted, but the most likely candidate and possible leader is "Nouvelle ambiguity", Richard Linklater pays homage to Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 cult film The Cult Movie of 1960, acquired by Netflix at the Cannes Film Festival and by Rebecca Zlotowski's "Vie fiepyee" STARTARN STARTARRE SARTARRY JODIE FACHORY JODIE FATCORNES CALLONCY and REBECCA ZLOTOWSKI's "Vie fiperics". Jafar Panahi's Palme d'OR won "It's just an accident", acquired by Neon, and may also be mixed up as it is mainly produced in France.

"Nouvelle Mague" didn't win the prize at Cannes, but it won an exciting applause, received a warm reaction from festival audiences - including the film's apparently touched Quentin Tarantino, and unanimous praise from critics typeOwen Gleiberman calls it a "charming ode to the movie rave." In a similar way as Michel Hazanavacius' black-and-while “The Artist” was seen as a French love letter to Hollywood and struck a chord in the US where it won an impressive five Oscars, “Nouvelle Vague” is an American director's love letter to French cinema, and more precisely that New Wave era which spanned late 1950's and 1960's with helmers such as Godard, Francois Truffaut, Eric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol and Agnes Varda inspired some of America's greatest filmmakers in the New Hollywood era and beyond, from Martin Scorsese to Brian de Palma and Tarantino.

Despite some speculation in Cannes, "Nouvelle Mague" qualifies for being selected by the French Oscar Council because it was shot primarily in French - Ampas Rule requires international feature films to have "mainly (more than 50%) non-English dialogue tracks."

Linklater's American nationality was not considered, as the film was supported by local art and production teams. According to the decisive eligibility criteria for current AMPA guidelines, the guidelines state that “creative control of films” must be “largely in the hands of citizens, residents or individuals with refugee or asylum status in the submission country”.

“Nouvelle Vague” was indeed produced by Laurent Pétin at Michèle Halberstadt at Paris-based ARP Selection, while Halberstadt and Laetitia Masson are also credited as co-screenwriters (for the adaptation), alongside Holly Gent and Vincent Palmo Jr. The cast is also mostly French with the exception of Zoey Deutch who stars as French New Wave darling Jean Seberg.

The only obstacle is that the October 10 release date for "Nouvelle Vague" has exceeded the September 30 deadline for the release of local dramas. However, ARP Choice is also a well-known French distribution company that can solve the problem by moving a mobile release date or a simple technology release before September 30. It remains to be seen that Netflix is ​​squandering in a futile way and willing to be "Emilia Pererez; whether streamers will position "nouvelle ambiguous" in major categories such as the best pictures, directors and actresses of Deutch.

After more than 30 years, it is certainly ironic to finally see an American filmmaker’s first international feature film in France’s Oscar (the last one dates back to 1993, using “Indian Cecchi” with Regis Wargnier), which is certainly ironic – hard to swallow.

If Zlotowski's latest movie "ViePrivée" can also be submitted, if its publisher AD Vitam raises its release date, the date is currently scheduled for November 26. The psychological thriller star of humor, Healogical Thristological Thriller Stars, as a therapist, investigates the patient's suicide, and he says she was actually murdered. The French star-studded film won positive reviews at the Cannes Film Festival. In addition to the high-end profile of the film and the pedigree of Sony Pictures’ classics, another factor that can support “ViePrivée” is Zlotowski’s solid reputation for winning this year’s French Cinema Awards in France (including from her peers).

Panahi's Palme d'Or "It's just an accident" is another potential contender, even if it's an Iranian film shot in Persian. Just like last year's "All Our Images For Light", directed by Payal Kapadia, it was also shortlisted by the French Oscar Council because it was made in France, "It's just an accident" and qualifies for the Oscars as Panahi was with French company Les Filmspelléaspelléas and Pelléas and Pelleducers in Luxembourg (which also both submitted the film, and that's the same. Panahi's first film since its release from an Iranian prison, "It's Just an Accident" centers on a group of former prisoners and their tortured guards. Neon will run for Panahi's films, as well as other foreign-language films it bought in Cannes and earlier, such as Joachim Trier's "sensual value", almost certainly represents Norway, Oliver Laxe's "Sirât", a potential candidate for Spain and a "secret agent" of Kleber Mendonça Filho, which could be Brazil's "possibly chosen secret agent".

The Venice Film Festival may also cause some buzz about French films that may be part of international feature films, especially Angelina Jolie, starring Alice Winocour, and set out in Paris during Fashion Week. The latter, represented internationally by Hanway, was mainly shot in French and produced by Charles Gillibert of CG Cinema, but has extensive English conversations. "Haofa" also does not have a U.S. distributor, but may land in Venice if opened there.

The country revamped the Oscars committee in 2022 by hiring permanent members such as the Cesar Awards, Cannes Film Festival owners and heads of the National Film Council; and expanded in 2024 with more professionals and filmmakers who would have served again this year - although some would certainly be forgiven due to conflicts of interest, such as "Nouvelle Mague" producer Halberstadt, Halberstadt, and possibly David Thion, whose company made Panahi's films.

Other members are expected to return, including Charles Tesson, former artistic director of Cannes critic Week; director Audrey Diwan won the Golden Lion Award in Venice in 2021 for "Actuation"; playwright, director and producer Florian Zeller ("Father"); former Lionsgate owner Patrick Wachsberger; international sales veteran Carole Baraton and Gregoire Melin of Dynamics; producer Rosalie Varda ("Face"), from Ciné-Tamaris and Nadim Cheikhroua ("Olfa's Daughter"). and actor Clemence Poesy. The committee will be shortlisted for up to five movies in its first meeting in early September.
