Oscar nominations 2017: Best foreign language film
“Toni Erdmann”
Immediate reaction: If you have a few hours to spare, and a taste for absurdist humor, then it’s time to check out “Toni Erdmann.” The disarmingly funny German movie about a wacky dad trying to get his all-business daughter to loosen up could earn its writer-director, Maren Ade, her first Academy Award. Asghar Farhadi, the writer-director of “The Salesman,” saw his film “A Separation” win this category in 2012 (and he was nominated for best original screenplay as well).
