Nadine Labaki Lost The Oscar But Won Our Hearts
Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki’s compelling movie Caphernaum didn’t win the Oscar category for Foreign Language.
Up against Colombian Birds of Passage, Danish The Guilty, German Never Look Away, Japanese Shoplifters, Kazakhstan’s Ayka, Mexican Roma, Polish Cold War and South Korean Burning, the documentary-style movie lost to Roma.
Needless to say, Caphernaum has already won our hearts and received global critical appraisal. It is a major achievement for Nadine Labaki to be the first Arab female director nominated by the Academy, aside from the recognition and admiration she received from media mogul Oprah alone.
Oscar winner or not, Caphernaum is a must-watch tear-jerker.
