I'm still in some kind of shock, says Magnus von Horn when TT reaches him at the security check at an airport.

However, there is no doubt that he is happy about the news.

It's a good film and there are good people who have worked on it, he says.

The film, which is competing for Denmark, had its premiere at the Cannes film festival last year and revolves around an illegal abortion clinic in Copenhagen after the First World War. Earlier in the afternoon, von Horn told Ritzau about the Oscar nomination:

It's fucking incredible! I was really convinced that we wouldn't get it. It wasn't because I don't think we deserve it, but I've been in this process for the past month and seen how things go up and down, says von Horn in a first comment.

"The Girl with the Needle" is selected for competition in the category of best international film, along with, among others, "Emilia Pérez" – the film that has received the most nominations of all, a total of 13.
