“Sirât” was subject of a high-profile pick-up for North America by Neon, announced mid-Cannes Festival after its world premiere in main competition, raising the question, as Variety has noted, about how the U.S. distributor will juggle four high-profile titles all selected by their countries for the Oscar race: Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value,” representing Norway; Kleber Mendonça Filho’s “The Secret Agent,”put forward by Brazil; Park Chan-wook’s “No Other Choice” for Korea and now “Sirât” for Spain. It’s a good problem to have, however.
Spain’s submission announcement was made Wednesday by Pablo Berger, who scored an animated feature nomination last year for “Robot Dreams,” while his silent movie Blancanieves was chosen as Spain’s entry for the 2013 Academy Awards.
