Ewan McGregor-led ‘Mother, Couch’ wins Best Nordic Film at Göteborg, Finland’s Oona Airola nabs acting award for ‘The Missile.’
Jurors Lena Endre, Ramata-Toulaye Sy, William Spetz, Tonia Noyabrova and Anna Novion appreciated the way it shows “how difficult it is to let go of the past, accept loss and finally embrace the future.” They praised “original and bold storytelling, with a lot of humor,” as well as the use of “creative cinematography.” In the past, Airola drew praise for her work in Juho Kuosmanen’s “The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki,” awarded at Cannes, and “Land of Hope.” She also appeared in the Sundance premiere “Girl Picture.” On the documentary front, Sundance revelation “Ibelin” by Benjamin Ree proved unbeatable, while “Fifteen Zero Three Nineteenth of January Two Thousand Sixteen” by Marius Dybwad Brandrud and Petra Bauer, and Suvi West and Anssi Kömi’s “Homecoming” picked up special mentions.
