France’s entry for Best International Feature at the Oscars is Alice Diop’s legal drama Saint Omer. And to listen to some of the experts, it has a real shot at getting nominated and perhaps even winning. So there’s no better time than now to drop a new trailer to help spread the word and generate more buzz.
Kayije Kagame and Guslagie Malanda star in the film about a writer observing the trial of a mother accused of leaving her 15-month-old daughter to die on a beach, swept away by the tide. But as she watches the case unfold, she begins to question how she feels about what happened.
The accolades have already been rolling in. After the film’s premiere in Venice, it was awarded the Silver Lion Grand Jury prize.
Saint Omer opens in theaters on January 13th 2023.
