The five nominees for the 2020 Nordic Council Film Prize have just been announced, sporting a solid quintet of award and festival favourites. For the 18th time around, sharp-minded juries based in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden have each picked their brilliant brains in search of the most splendid national representative of their respective national cinema, as dictated by the nomination procedure of the Nordic Council Film Awards. From Denmark comes Frelle Petersen’s mild-mannered story of the barren Danish countryside, Uncle. From Finland, devoid of such manners is the existential Bdsm comedy Dogs Don’t Wear Pants by J.-P. Valkeapää. Iceland is represented by Rúnar Rúnarsson’s Echo, a tour-de-force journey into modern society, made up of 56 different scenes. From Norway comes Beware of Children, the story of an accidental death of a young boy and the consequences of it among the many affected parties, meticulously written, directed and fine-tuned.
