Chloé Zhao can add a prize to her honor case. FIPRESCI, the International Federation of Film Critics, has picked Zhao's Oscar-winning dramatization Nomadland as its best film of 2021.
Nomadland, which won the Oscar for best movie, just as best chief for Zhao and best entertainer for star Frances McDormand, beat down a generally all-European setup, including Thomas Vinterberg's Another Round — victor of the 2021 Oscar for best worldwide component — Jasmila Zbanic's Oscar-named Quo Vadis, Aida?, Radu Jude's Berlin celebration champ Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, and Alexandre Koberidze's Georgian show What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? for the FIPRESCI Grand Prix 2021.
Zhao is the primary Chinese chief to win the prize and just the second Asian producer so respected, following Korean chief Kim Ki-duk, who won for 3-Iron in 2005.
It is fairly strange for a North American to take the global pundits' top honor, what pick their top choices from titles that screen at the top arthouse celebrations around the world. Just three American chiefs have at any point won: Terrence Malick for The Tree of Life in 2011, Richard Linklater for Boyhood in 2014, and Paul Thomas Anderson, who is FIPRESCI's most commended chief, with three Grand Prix wins, for Magnolia (2000), There Will Be Blood (2008) and Phantom Thread (2018).
The 2021 FIPRESCI Grand Prix will be distributed on Sept. 17 during the initial occasion of the 69th San Sebastian Festival. The global pundits affiliation didn't grant a Grand Prix last year, refering to the wiping out of film celebrations and deliveries because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
