Germany selects Sandra Wollner’s drama “Everytime” as its entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. The film, which won in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival, centers on grief and loss, including the aftermath of a daughter’s death and the impact on the remaining family.
The outlets describe the Cannes recognition and the nature of the story, but focus on different framing details. The Hollywood Reporter emphasizes the film’s Cannes award and its themes of grief and loss. Variety also highlights Germany’s selection for the Oscar race and includes a synopsis excerpt outlining the film’s central premise, with characters connected to a photograph and life after tragedy.
Both accounts agree that “Everytime” is Sandra Wollner’s Cannes award-winning film and that it is chosen to represent Germany in the international feature category. The selection reflects Germany’s process for nominating a film for the Oscars, while final acceptance and nomination depend on the Academy’s subsequent steps.
