    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film winning the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was somewhat serendipitous. The film's reception in its native Netherlands had been somewhat lukewarm, and most of the attention had gone to Pikkusisko (1995) (which had also beaten Antonian maailma (1995) as Best Picture at the Dutch Film Festival that year). However, since Pikkusisko (1995) had not been officially released in theaters at the time, it couldn't qualify as the Dutch submission for the Oscars. Fortunately, Antonian maailma (1995) enjoyed much more critical success abroad, and especially the positive reception in the USA was felt to have contributed to the film winning the Oscar.

    Great film
    I found Antonia's Line to be a wonderful expression of what is endearing and enduring in the human spirit. It was a truly lovely story, clever character development, warmly delivered. I can understand how some may not understand or enjoy this film. It flies in the face of convention, but that is its beauty. Some would fear the freedoms this film demonstrates.

    Love and acceptance abound, in a timeless manor. I like the way it offered a different definition of family, one where diversity is an asset, guarded by respect.

    This is one of the greatest stories to come across the screen.
