Toni Erdmann swept the European Film Awards today, grabbing wins from all five of its nominations so far – Maren Ade for European Screenwriter andEuroopean Director, Peter Simonischek for European Actor and Sandra Hüller for European Actress. The EFA showed no need to spread the wealth, with Hüller beating the critics’ choice across the pond, Isabelle Huppert in Elle.
Polish Małgorzata Szumowska’s Body (Cialo) won the people’s choice award. Wim Wenders, the president of the European Film Academy, paid homage to late Polish film and theater director Andrzej Wajda. In awards given last month, Land of Mine won the Carlo di Palma award for best European cinematographer. It also won for costume design (Stefanie Bieker) as well as hair and makeup (Barbara Kreuzer). It is Denmark’s entry for the Foreign Language Film Oscar. The EFA Lifetime Achievement Award went to Jean-Claude Carrière.
