” are believed to be the favorites for consideration. “Happening” was just acquired by IFC Films and Film Nation while “Petite Maman” and “Titane” are being distributed by Neon. Furthermore, “Titane” won the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The prize also went to Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” in 2019, before that film went on to become the first foreign language movie to win best picture.
In recent memory, I can’t recall three female helmed cinematic endeavors being the frontrunners to represent the country, especially from three drastically different genres.“Happening” had its world premiere at this year’s Venice Film Festival, winning the Golden Lion, one of only five women who have ever won since 1949.
The truth is, the French have not been particularly accepting of women-helmed projects in the awards space. Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s “Mustang” is the last film directed by a woman to represent France. France is the only country that has submitted a film every year since the creation of the category, resulting in 65 movie submissions, with 38 garnering noms and nine winning features .
