BELGIUM OSCAR® ENTRY "BULLHEAD" NOMINATED FOR BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
"BULLHEAD", an upcoming Drafthouse Films release, has been nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
Commenting on the incredible honor for BULLHEAD, director Michaël R. Roskam said, "It feels like going to the world championship!"
"Michael Roskam is an incredibly exciting new director. We are so happy that the Academy thinks as highly of him as we do!" said Tim League CEO/Founder Drafthouse Films.
BULLHEAD, the directorial debut of Roskam, has gathered international acclaim, winning 25 awards to date including the "Best Actor" prize at Palm Springs IFF 2012, going to Matthias Schoenaerts for his "superb portrayal of an innocent and sensitive man trapped in a truculent body", and the "New Auteurs Audience Award" and "New Auteurs Critic's Prize For Best Actor" at 2011 AFI festival. Roskam has also been named one of Variety's "10 Directors to Watch."
BULLHEAD will be showing at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2012 next week, screenings TBA.
Michael R. Roskamʼs BULLHEAD is an emotionally driven tale of revenge, redemption and fate set against the backdrop of the Belgian bovine hormone mafia. It is an exciting tragedy about fate, lost innocence and friendship, about crime and punishment, but also about conflicting desires and the irreversibility of a man's destiny. Domineering cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille (Matthias Schoenaerts in a ferocious breakout performance), constantly pumped on steroids and hormones, initiates a shady deal with a notorious mafioso meat trader. When an investigating federal agent is assassinated and a woman from his traumatic past resurfaces, Jacky must confront his demons and face the far-reaching consequences of his decisions.
BULLHEAD is distributed domestically by Drafthouse Films and will be released in early 2012.
