‘Another Round,’ ‘Corpus Christi,’ ‘Martin Eden’ lead European Film Awards nominations

Christian Petzold’s Undine was nominated for two awards, European Film and European Actress for Paula Beer, who won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.

Three directors landed in the European Director category despite their films not showing up in the top category: Agnieszka Holland for Charlatan, Maria Sødahl for Hope and François Ozon for Summer of 85. For Charlatan and Summer of 85 it was their film’s only nominations. On the flip side, the controversial film The Painted Bird earned a nomination for European Film, its only mention.
