Our look at the nominations for Best Film at the 2022 EE British Academy Film Awards

 

With the 2022 British Academy Film Awards just around the corner on 13th March, we take a look at each of the films nominated for Best Film.

 

Belfast

Dir: Kenneth Branagh | Universal Pictures

Taking place during the ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, the story follows 9 year old Buddy living in Belfast with his Protestant family, as they get sucked into the violence filling the streets. Based loosely on the childhood of director and writer Kenneth Branagh, the film pays tribute to the families in Belfast who lived through The Troubles, with great performances from Jamie Dornan, Judi Dench and debut actor Jude Hill.

 

Don't Look Up

Dir: Adam McKay | Netflix

This satire from Adam McKay focuses on celebrity culture, technology and politics, all of which Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence's characters must navigate in order to warn humanity about a comet, on a direct collision course with Earth. Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett and Jonah Hill also star in this outrageous comedy, which is simultaneously funny and depressing.

 

Dune

Dir: Denis Villeneuve | Warner Bros. Pictures

The second big screen adaptation of the epic novel from Frank Herbert, Dune focuses the story of Paul, the son of a noble family who aim to protect their claimed desert planet and its precious resource ‘spice’, a substance that allows heightened vitality. Dune features an all-star cast, including Timothée Chalet, Rebecca Ferguson and Javier Bardem.

 

Licorice Pizza

Dir: Paul Thomas Anderson | Universal Pictures

Set in California's San Fernando Valley, in the 70s, Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman make their incredible film debuts in this captivating and authentic love story. Partially based on a true story, the film is a combination of Paul Thomas Anderson’s hometown memories and the real-life accounts of friend Gary Goetzman.

 

The Power of the Dog (WON)

Dir: Jane Campion | Netflix

Benedict Cumberbatch stars in this western drama about a domineering rancher Phil, who behaves cruelly towards his brother’s new wife and her son Peter. After abuse from Phil and his range hands, Peter discovers Phil’s homosexuality and Phil starts to show decency to Peter, yet continually lashes out at his mother Rose.
