According to Hollywood Reporter, the 74th Golden Globe nominations, which were revealed Monday morning,went to Germany'sToni Erdmann, France'sElle, Iran'sThe Salesman, Chile'sNeruda, and another slot for France, crime-dramaDivines, for the foreign-language category.
Asghar Farhadis Cannes award-winner drama The Salesman which has been chosen to represent Iran at the 2017 Academy Awards, was named by theUS National Board of Reviewas the best foreign language film of the year. It was also nominated by the Washington DC Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) for Best Foreign Language Film, but lost the award to French psychological thriller Elle.
If The Salesman wins the Golden Globe award, its chances for winning the Oscar will rise tremendously.
The Iranian drama tells the story of Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti), a couple who are part-time actors playing Willy and Linda Loman in a Tehran production of Arthur Millers 'Death of a Salesman', when an intruder in their new home shakes this marriage to its core.
