Did You Know?
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 Little Sister (1995) (which had also beaten Antonia's Line (1995) as Best Picture at the Dutch Film Festival that year). However, since Little Sister (1995) had not been officially released in theaters at the time, it couldn't qualify as the Dutch submission for the Oscars. Fortunately, Antonia's Line (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. See more » |
