The fantasy epic Cloud Atlas might have divided audiences, but the German Film Academy is united in its support of the $100 million production from directors Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski siblings. It has nominated the movie in nine categories, including best film, for the 2013 German Film Awards, also called the Lolas.
Cloud Atlas, which features an all-star cast including Tom Hanks, Halle Barry, Hugh Grant and Hugo Weaving, is the big-budget outlier among the nominees, otherwise made up of low-budget art house productions.
The David to Cloud Atlas‘ Goliath is Oh Boy, the black-and-white film debut of first-time director Jan-Ole Gerster, which received eight Lola nominations, including best film, best director and best actor for Tom Schilling.
