Oscars: Iraq picks ‘No Paradise If You Are Killed by a Woman’ as Best Intl. Feature Contender

Comments

1. Cipher Shard: I've heard the sound design is incredibly immersive, how much of that is credited to the Iraqi team?
2. Elinranaxo: what kind of precedent is this going to set for the Oscars? having to consider the politics behind every film now?
3. Shadow Rune: interesting to see this get the nod, haven't had a chance to check out mustafa's previous work yet
4. Felix Rana: don't know how well this film will do but I'm curious to see how Kurdish voices are represented on that stage
5. Nina: I'll be curious to see how this film's portrayal of a female Kurdish sniper stacks up against actual accounts from the war zone
6. Iris: what a loaded title, hope the film doesn't sacrifice storytelling for sensationalism
7. Mayakaurxo: It's striking that this story is getting attention now when it premiered in Venice months ago – still a long shot for an Oscar nod?
8. Tranzoe: it's odd they're premiering at venice but getting an oscar nod now
9. Junekarim: really hope this director gets more recognition after the war - his storytelling is hauntingly real
10. Sanakarim: seemed like a great opportunity for them to highlight more diverse international stories 🌏
11. Zoe: saw this trailer and still don't get why it's a contender for best international feature
