Roy Andersson vs Ruben Östlund.
Sweden’s hottest directors disagree about who is the best.
– I thought about making the film worse so he had a chance, says Andersson.
The gong has passed.
The match for the title of “most successful director right now “can begin.
Yesterday was held the European Film Awards in Riga. Ruben Östlund and his “Tourist” was nominated in the categories Best Film and Best Director.
Ostlund did not win, but may bring new hope to the prestigious Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles in January .
“Tourist” is also Sweden’s Oscar contribution 2015th
“The dove will”
Roy Andersson , 71, who first Swedish receive the Venice festival’s best film prize the Golden Lion, but “A pigeon sitting on a branch and musing on life” was released too late to be able to have the chance to Golden Globe and Oscar nominations.
Otherwise, Roy Andersson struck Ruben Ostlund, he believes.
– Should I answer honestly? Yes, I think so, he said.
The next year he is confident that his film will be Sweden’s Oscars.
– It is a good sign that “Tourist” is nominated Also in the Golden Globe. Ruben has every reason to be damn happy, but the pigeon next year. Wait, you see, grins Roy Andersson.
The rights to the “Tourist” and “A dove …” has been bought by the same international film companies.
– They are fucking excited for the pigeon . They say it’s a great movie, but they have not had time to start promoting it yet. Not in the same way as “Tourist” but they strongly believe in the pigeon, says Roy Andersson.
“Do not have a chance”
Ruben Östlund, 41, is pleased to be release a film the same year that Roy Andersson.
– I have said that this year he’ll get whipped. “A dove …” has no chance against the “Tourist”. It’s my chance to beat him. I’ve beaten him at the film festival in Seville already, so brawl between the films is highly topical, he said.
“Would not schyst”
But Roy Andersson refuses to see himself beaten by his colleague:
– I could not get to Seville, and they give’s not the price to someone who is not there. It belongs to history!
Soon, Ruben Östlund, who says he has been inspired much of Roy Andersson through the years, ending up in the shadow again, promising 71-year-old.
– A while I thought that since Ruben really like to have this auspices price of Guldbaggegalan, as I have already received twice, I would do my film a little worse so he has a chance. But it would not schyst the audience, says Roy Andersson jokingly.
But the brawl continues.
