As a film enthusiast with a soft spot for stories that delve deep into the human condition, I am thrilled to see Switzerland’s entry for the 2025 Oscars – Reinas. Having had the privilege of experiencing cinema from diverse cultures, I can say that this Peruvian family drama promises a unique perspective, especially with its Swiss-Peruvian filmmaker Klaudia Reynicke at the helm.
In the upcoming 2025 Oscars, Switzerland has selected the Peruvian family drama “Reinas,” directed by Swiss-Peruvian filmmaker Klaudia Reynicke, to represent it in the Best International Feature Film category.
During the scorching heat of a 1992 summer in Lima, I find myself immersed in a deeply personal journey as a father strives to mend frayed bonds with his beloved daughters amidst the chaos and upheaval of a nation grappling with crisis.
Gonzalo Molina portrays the character of Carlos, a taxi driver and unsuccessful actor who happens to be a father. Abril Gjurinovic and Luana Vega play his two daughters, Lucia and Aurora, who have endured much throughout their lives. As they suspect this could be their final summer together, Carlos strives to mend the family bonds, all while witnessing the nation’s economy crumble due to hyperinflation.
The movie titled “Reinas” first appeared at Sundance and later screened at the Berlin Film Festival. It was there that it received the Grand Prix award, which is given to the best film in the international Generation Kplus jury’s opinion.
Switzerland boasts a grand total of five Oscar nominations for Best International Feature Film and has emerged victorious on two occasions. To date, Peru has only received one Oscar nomination, which was for Claudia Llosa’s “The Milk of Sorrow” in the year 2009.
On December 17th, we’ll reveal the finalists for the best international feature category. The nominees will be unveiled on January 17th, 2025. Mark your calendars for the 98th Academy Awards, which will take place on Sunday, March 2nd, 2025.
