‘Marguerite,’ ‘My Golden Years’ Lead César Nominations, with ‘Dheepan’ and Oscar Contender ‘Mustang’ Close Behind
Matt Brennan
Arnaud Desplechin’s “My Golden Years” and Xavier Giannoli’s “Marguerite” (which will close this year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival) beat out Jacques Audiard’s Palme d’Or winner, “Dheepan” (nine nominations) and Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s Oscar-nominated “Mustang” (nine).
Also competing for Best Film at the 41st César’s are Maïwenn’s “Mon Roi” (eight), starring Best Actress nominee Emmanuelle Bercot — whose own film, “Standing Tall,” also received 8 nominations, including Bercot for Best Director. Among the nominees for Best Foreign Film are last year’s Oscar winner for Best Picture, “Birdman,” Jafar Panahi’s “Taxi,” and Ergüven’s stiffest competitor in the race for the Best Foreign-Language Film Oscar, “Son of Saul.”
