The Salesman [Forušande]

(Iran 2016)

Asghar Farhadi’s The Salesman [Forušande] [فروشنده] is a marvelously dark and brooding study of a married couple that shifts smoothly from a domestic crisis drama to a revenge flick. His approach is a lot more subtle than one an American director might take, but this is precisely what makes The Salesman so satisfying.

My alternative 89th Academy Awards

And so here, as I do every year, is my alternative Oscars ceremony. This is what would happen tonight if I - and I alone - stuffed the ballots and decided on all of the nomination and all of the winners. Non-English language films are accompanied by their nation of origin (in FIFA three-letter code).

89th Academy Awards – February 26, 2017 Dolby Theatre – Hollywood, Los Angeles, California Host: Jimmy Kimmel Broadcaster: ABC

Best Picture: LA LA LAND

Arrival, Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Aaron Ryder, and David Linde (Paramount)

Fences, Todd Black, Scott Rudin, and Denzel Washington (Paramount)

Hell or High Water, Carla Hacken and Julie Yorn (CBS Films/Lionsgate)

La La Land, Fred Berger, Jordan Horowitz, and Marc Platt (Summit)

Moonlight, Adele Romanski, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner (A24)

O.J.: Made in America, Ezra Edelman (ESPN)

Our Little Sister (JPN), Kaoru Matsuzaki and Hijiri Taguchi (Toho Company)

The Red Turtle (FRA/BEL/JPN), Toshio Suzuki, Vincent Maraval, Pascal Caucheteux, Grégoire Sorlat, and Léon Perahia (Wild Bunch/Toho Company/ Lumière/Sony Pictures Classics)

The Salesman (IRN), Alexandre Mallet-Guy and Asghar Farhadi (Filmiran/Cohen Media Group)

Toni Erdmann (GER), Maren Ade, Jonas Dornbach, Janine Jackowski, and Michael Merkt (Komplizen Film/Sony Pictures Classics)

It’s a little disconcerting that only two major studio films are here. The mid-budget drama used to be the major studios’ bread-and-butter, and now that is gravitating ever more to the mini-majors and smaller studios. La La Land, Moonlight, O.J.: Made in America, and The Red Turtle all received 9/10 ratings from me. We essentially have a four-way tie for first, and I have to elevate one above the rest.

Some of my followers are gonna fume at my decision, but it’s La La Land for me. I approached that decision from a well-documented bias for musicals - fully aware of the film’s artistic, technical, and societal problems - the fact of the film’s cultural impact (I sometimes have a populist streak in how I see film history, and that’s a part of my personality), and personal taste (it came down to Moonlight and La La Land for me... I love both, but which movie would I not mind to waste 30 minutes on if nothing was on?).

If you ask me this question again in ten years’ time, my answer might very well change. I don’t have the luxury of hindsight right now.

Best Director

Damien Chazelle, La La Land

Michael Dudok de Wit, The Red Turtle

Ezra Edelman, O.J.: Made in America

Barry Jenkins, Moonlight

Hirokazu Koreeda, Our Little Sister

In my alternative Oscar universe, Koreeda nabs the latest of several nominations for Director, but he just can’t manage to break through in this category. It’s Jenkins for me, for crafting a story that I could not imagine having been filmed even five years ago.

Best Actor

Joel Edgerton, Loving

Andrew Garfield, Hacksaw Ridge

Ryan Gosling, La La Land

Sunny Pawar, Lion

Denzel Washington, Fences                                 

Sunny Pawar has to hold up that first half of Lion, and he does so spectacularly. I also introduce Edgerton here as well. Garfield had a career performance in Hacksaw Ridge, and Gosling is a bit underrated. But it’s the one fellow nominated here who I would call a genuine movie star - a term that is thrown about too often these days, but I think he embodies it - in Denzel Washington. It’s a difficult performance, that, and he has perfected it to a tee.

Best Actress

Taraji P. Henson, Hidden Figures

Isabelle Huppert, Elle

Lâm Thanh Mỹ, Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass (VIE)

Ruth Negga, Loving

Emma Stone, La La Land

You’re scratching your heads on that nomination for Lâm Thanh Mỹ, I know. She gave the child performance of the year for me in a dizzying display of a range of emotions. But in the end, it’s Huppert. I sneak in Henson and Negga as well.

Best Supporting Actor

Mahershala Ali, Moonlight

Jeff Bridges, Hell or High Water

John Goodman, 10 Cloverfield Lane

Lucas Hedges, Manchester by the Sea

Issey Ogata, Silence

Did you expect anything else?

Best Supporting Actress

Viola Davis, Fences

Naomie Harris, Moonlight

Suzu Hirose, Our Little Sister

Octavia Spencer, Hidden Figures

Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea

See above. Yet another child actress in Suzu Hirose, gets nominated... that’s three kids getting nominations in my alternative ceremony!

Best Adapted Screenplay

Park Chan-wook, The Handmaiden (KOR)

Eric Heisserer, Arrival

Barry Jenkins and Tarell McCraney, Moonlight

Hirokazu Koreeda, Our Little Sister

August Wilson, Fences (posthumous nomination)

Really, really tempted to give this to Wilson. So I hope, wherever he is, he didn’t mind this.

Best Original Screenplay

Stephen Chow, et al., The Mermaid (CHN)

Asghar Farhadi, The Salesman

Efthimis Filippou and Yorgos Lanthimos, The Lobster

Taylor Sheridan, Hell or High Water

Makoto Shinkai, Your Name (JPN)

Best Animated Feature

Kubo and the Two Strings (Laika/Focus)

Long Way North, France/Denmark (Maybe Movies/Sacrebleu Productions)

My Life as a Zucchini, Switzerland (Gébéka Films/GKIDS)

The Red Turtle, France/Belgium/Japan (Wild Bunch/Toho Company/ Lumière/Sony Pictures Classics)

Your Name, Japan (Funimation/Toho Company)

Zootopia was the second-best Disney film of the year, and it wasn’t even among the top five animated features of the year. Little-seen Long Way North and widely-seen Your Name (everywhere except North America, apparently) are in there instead. But The Red Turtle - a true transnational effort - is the best animated feature of the year.

Best Documentary Feature

I Am Not Your Negro (Velvet Film/Magnolia Pictures)

Life, Animated (A&E/The Orchard)

O.J.: Made in America (ESPN)

13th (Netflix)

Weiner (Motto Pictures/Sundance Selects)

I have to award ESPN’s ambitious 30 for 30 entry here. And it’s easily the best of the 30 for 30 films as well.

Best Foreign Language Film

Fire at Sea, Italy

The Handmaiden, South Korea

Our Little Sister, Japan

The Salesman, Iran

Toni Erdmann, Germany

Best Cinematography

Roger Deakins, Hail, Caesar!

James Laxton, Moonlight

Rodrigo Prieto, Silence

Linus Sandgren, La La Land

Bradford Young, Arrival

Best Film Editing

Tom Cross, La La Land

John Gilbert, Hacksaw Ridge

Bret Granato, Maya Mumma, and Ben Sozanski, O.J.: Made in America

Joi McMillon and Nat Sanders, Moonlight

Blu Murray, Sully

Best Original Musical

Gary Clark, Sing Street

Justin Hurwitz, La La Land

Mark Mancina, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Opetaia Foa’I, Moana

Best Original Musical is a category that must be activated by the Academy’s Music Branch, given that there are enough movie musical submitted for consideration. As I felt like there were enough movie musicals to warrant the activation of this category, I put these three films here (also, I wanted La La Land out of Original Score to preserve the category’s intent - to honor a film’s score, rather than its soundtrack). It has not been given under its current name; the last recipient of this award was Prince for Purple Rain (1984).

Best Original Score

John Debney, The Jungle Book

James Newton Howard, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Dario Marianelli, Kubo and the Two Strings

Laurent Perez Del Mar, The Red Turtle

John Williams, The BFG

Best Original Song

“Another Day of Sun”, music by Justin Hurwitz, lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, La La Land

“Audition (The Fools Who Dream)”, music by Justin Hurwitz, lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, La La Land

“Drive It Like You Stole It”, composed by Gary Clark Sing Street

“How Far I’ll Go”, composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Moana

“No Wrong Way Home”, music by Alexis Harte and JJ Wiesler, lyrics by Alexis Harte, Pearl

Yes, I have the audacity to nominate a song from a short film in here - “No Wrong Way Home” from Pearl. And “City of Stars” shouldn’t have been nominated, despite it being the earworm.

Best Costume Design

Colleen Atwood, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Madeline Fontaine, Jackie

Mary Zophres, La La Land

Eimer Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh, Love & Friendship

Dante Ferretti, Silence

Best Makeup & Hairstyling

Daniel Phillips, Florence Foster Jenkins

Jean Ann Black and Cydney Cornell, Hail, Caesar!

Eva von Bahr and Love Larson, A Man Called Ove (SWE)

Joel Harlow and Richard Alonzo, Star Trek Beyond

Best Production Design

Patrice Vermette and Paul Hotte, Arrival

Jess Gonchor and Nancy Haigh, Hail, Caesar!

Guy Hendrix Dyas and Gene Serdena, Passengers

抱回小金人 《新居風暴》導演仍痛批穆斯林禁令不人道

《新居風暴》在今年奧斯卡頒獎典禮上抱回了最佳外語片大獎，但導演阿斯哈法哈蒂（Asghar Farhadi）卻為了抗議川普下令禁止七個穆斯林國家的公民入境美國，而無法親自現身領獎。

儘管人不在現場，阿斯哈法哈蒂還是提筆寫下了一份得獎感言，在《新居風暴》擊敗了《拆彈少年》、《明天別再來敲門》、《塔納島之戀》和《顛父人生》，而奪下最佳外語片大獎之後，由第一位登上宇宙的伊朗太空人安如仙安薩里（Anousheh Ansari）代為朗讀。 阿斯哈法哈蒂在得獎感言中解釋到，自己為何無法出席奧斯卡頒獎典禮：「我之所以缺席，是出自對我國和其他六個國家公民的敬意，他們因不人道的美國穆斯林禁令而受到侮辱。」 與其出席奧斯卡頒獎典禮，阿斯哈法哈蒂則選擇留在伊朗德黑蘭，在一場針對川普穆斯林禁令的抗議活動上，透過視訊向聚集在倫敦特拉法加廣場觀賞《新居風暴》的一萬名觀眾發表談話。 根據��體報導，阿斯哈法哈蒂表示：「我感到十分高興，因為全球藝術社群對穆斯林禁令所展現出的零星反應，已逐漸成長為一場強而有力、團結一心的運動。」 「這份團結力量已經有了個好的開始。我希望這場運動能持續擴散，因為它擁有足夠力量來對抗法西斯主義，在極端主義的面前取得勝利，並向全球各地的政治迫害說不。我們全是世界公民，而我將努力保護並擴散這份團結。」 這是阿斯哈法哈蒂所抱回的第二座小金人，他先前曾以2011年的《分居風暴》摘下奧斯卡。 ※圖片：Filmiran／���文翻譯自Yahoo!英國電影／翻譯：酒吞童子 ※不加入Y!電影粉絲團，你就悶了！ movie_id:6611
