They may feel that Notturno is a better film but it has not made much noise. To top it off, the film has scored much lower on Rotten Tomatoes than The Life Ahead and has not earned as many nominations, I believe.
The Life Ahead made it to Netflix top 10 in 37 countries and stars Sophia Loren. It is also directed by the son of Loren and the legendary Carlo Ponti Sr. That’s legacy right there.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, “Quo Vadis, Aida?”
Chile, “The Mole Agent”
Czech Republic, “Charlatan”
Denmark, “Another Round”
France, “Two of Us”
Guatemala, “La Llorona”

Ivory Coast, “Night of the Kings”
Mexico, “I’m No Longer Here”
Norway, “Hope”
Romania, “Collective”
Russia, “Dear Comrades!”
Taiwan, “A Sun”
Tunisia, “The Man Who Sold His Skin”I can’t believe Portugal still doesn’t have a nomination. Brazil misses again but I had no hope in Babenco anyway. Bárbara Paz looks a promising filmmaker though and I hope she keeps making films. More luck for us Portuguese speakers next year
Tell me about it. It’s ridiculous. But tbh some of our choices were also appauling as hell. But I really had high hopes for Vitalina Varela. It was a perfect submission. We really needed the executive committee. Lets hope our luck changes next year.
