    “On Body and Soul” is one of the best world’s fantastic films in 2017.

    Five of Europe’s highest-profile — 2017 art films, all already top winners at the Berlin or Cannes festivals, Robin Campillo’s “BPM (Beats Per Minute)” and Alexey Zvyagintsev’s “Loveless” will face off against Ildiko Enyedi’s “On Body and Soul”, Ruben Ostlund’s “The Square” and Aki Kaurismaki’s “The Other Side of Hope” for best picture at this year’s European Film Awards.

    The nominations for the 30th European Film Awards are:

    It is with great pleasure that the European Film Academy and EFA Productions announce the titles of the 51 films on this year’s EFA Feature Film Selection, the list of feature fiction films recommended for a nomination for the European Film Awards 2017! With 31 European countries represented, the list once again illustrates the great diversity in European cinema.

    From Cannes, Ruben Ostlund’s Palme d’Or winner “The Square“;
    Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Jury Prize winner “Loveless“;
    and Robin Campillo’s Grand Prize laureate “BPM” are all up for Best European Film.

    So are Berlin Golden Bear winner “On Body And Soul” from Ildikó Enyedi and “The Other Side Of Hope” for which Aki Kaurismäki took the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director.

    Each of the films, save the latter, is their country’s entry for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar (from Sweden, Russia, France and Hungary, respectively).

    “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” is for sure a masterpiece of fantastika, haunting and singular and strange, but it’s also icy, remote, and too enigmatic.

    Four of the movies are also vying for Best European Director with Yorgos Lanthimos slotting into the race for “The Killing Of A Sacred Deer”. That film’s Colin Farrell is up for Best Actor in a field that includes Claes Bang (“The Square“), Josef Hader (“Stefan Zweig – Farewell To Europe“), Nahuel Pérez Biscayart (“BPM“) and Jean-Louis Trintignant (“Happy End“).

    Also from Michael Haneke’s “Happy End“, Isabelle Huppert is in the Best Actress category with Paula Beer (“Frantz“), Juliette Binoche (“Bright Sunshine In“), Alexandra Borbély (“On Body And Soul“) and Florence Pugh (“Lady Macbeth“).
