After four consecutive years of losing out to other continents, European cinema reclaimed the international feature Oscar earlier this year with Thomas Vinterberg’s Danish entry “Another Round.” It was a return to form for the region that has traditionally dominated the race, and annually boasts the lion’s share of contenders at the submissions stage. More than 40% of the 93 submissions in this year’s race are European, and with many of the season’s buzziest titles among them, the continent has a strong collective chance of holding onto the gold.
Not that buzz always translates to gold in this category, in which no year passes without at least one hotly hyped contender failing to make even the pre-nomination shortlist.
The biggest wild card in this year’s race comes from the country that holds the record for the most nominations in the category’s history: having pushed 39 films into the final five before,...

“Dying to Divorce” begins and ends with an onscreen counter, ticking over as rapidly as a zealous taxi meter — if only it were measuring anything so banal. Instead, it’s a representation of Turkey’s appalling rate of femicide over recent years, the screen below the counter filling up with the names of women murdered by their partners, as the number above queasily rises. As the screen fades out before a total is reached, the point is solemnly made. Examining the country’s culture of patriarchal violence and weighing it up against the systemic rot that allows it to fester, British docmaker Chloë Fairweather’s plainspoken debut feature has a lot to take on in an 80-minute timeframe, and if it doesn’t manage to complete all its arguments, that doesn’t diminish the power of a film about a crucially unresolved problem.
Though it’s a British production — and duly entered as the U.
