César 2024: The Animal Kingdom and Anatomy of a Fall at the top of the nominations
I Will Always See Your Faces, The Goldman Trial and Junkyard Dog are also favorites.
The day after its 5 Oscar nominations (unheard of for a French film since The Artist), we knew thatAnatomy of a fall would also weigh heavily in the Cesar nominations, which were unveiled this Wednesday. With 11 quotes, the film Justine Triet will be one of the big favorites of the ceremony, which will be held on February 23 in Paris. But another feature film did better.
After its great success in theaters, The Animal Kingdom also won over Academy voters. The film of Thomas Cailley will compete in 12 categories, from the most prestigious (best film, best director, best screenplay) to the most technical (best sets, best visual effects). A plebiscite for this rather rare cinema proposal in France, and which promises a great confrontation with Anatomy of a fall.
But an outsider could shake up this duel. Huge critical favorite (including First), The Goldman Trial received 8 nominations for its part. Cedric Kahn will be notably opposed to Justine Triet and Thomas Cailley in the direction category, predominantly female this year with also Catherine Breillat (Last summer) And Jeanne Herrywhose I will always see your faces will be one of the other favorites with 9 nominations.
Dog of the breakage is the surprise guest in the best film category and has 7 nominations. For his first feature, Jean-Baptiste Durand caused a sensation and will also compete for the César for best original screenplay. The appointment of Raphaël Quenard on the other hand, the male reveal was expected. His playing partner, Anthony Bajonis in the running for best supporting actor.
As for actresses, Marion Cotillard (Little Girl Blue) And Virginie Efira (Love and Forests) will face Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a fall). Among the actors, Romain Duris (The Animal Kingdom) will be opposed to Arieh Worthalter (The Goldman Trial) and Raphaël Quenard (Yannick). Omnipresent, the latter will also vie for the César for best short film with The actor !
The list of nominations for the 2024 Césars reminds us in any case that the 2023 vintage was exceptional in terms of quality and diversity for French cinema. We will nevertheless note the absence of The Passion of Dodin Bouffantchosen to represent France at the Oscars, in the major categories…
