Feng Xiaogang’s historical drama “Back to 1942” has been accepted to compete in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 86th Academy Awards in Hollywood. The film, which stars Adrien Brody as a US journalist and Tim Robbins as a priest, recalls the famine of 1942 during the Second Sino-Japanese War when thousands of residents from Henan Province were forced to embark on a grueling exodus.
This will be Feng’s second film to contend for an Oscar – his first film, “Aftershock”, centered around the devastating earthquake in Tangshan in 1976. According to the academy's official website, a record 76 countries and regions have submitted films for consideration in the foreign-language film category. The winners will be announced at the ceremony on March 2, 2014.
