The decision that was made
Italy’s selection committee chose Strippoli’s psychological horror drama to represent the country. The cast includes Jasmine Trinca, Romana Maggiora Vergano, Adriano Giannini and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi.
The stages still ahead
A national submission must first make the Academy shortlist and then the final nominations. The reported calendar puts the shortlist on December 15, nominations on January 21 and the ceremony on March 14, so describing the film as already Oscar-nominated would overstate its status.
Update note: Explains the international-feature selection process and avoids turning a national submission into a nomination.
