The Israeli entry, which highlights the plight of foreign workers in the Jewish state, is unlikely to be nominated, but the German, Hungarian, and Palestinian entries offer storylines that should be of special interest to Jewish viewers. Judging by critical buzz and personal reviews, here are the films' nomination chances, ranked from best to worst. Palestinian film Paradise Now, which follows two suicide bombers from Nablus in their painstaking preparations to blow up a Tel Aviv bus, re-enforced its frontrunner status earlier this month when it picked up the Golden Globe award for Best Foreign Film. Although the sympathies of director Hany Abu-Assad lie clearly on the Palestinian side, he avoids a simplistic tirade. With excellent acting and a tight, tense plot, the film tries t6 give an insight into the motivations of the terrorists, their sense of humiliation under Israeli occupation, their fanati- cism as well as their doubts and mis- givings. In what may be a nod to Western sensibilities, a beautiful Arab woman, who tries to dissuade the bombers from their mission, is given a central role.. • For shrewd political or artistic rea- sons, the film concludes without exposing viewers to the ultimate hor- ror and carnage of the bombers' goal. Holocaust Themed Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, Germany's official entry, is the most recent attempt by the country's young filmrhakers to wrestle with the dark legacy of the Hitler era. The movie is a tribute to the death- defying courage of a small group of German university students, who posted anti-Nazi leaflets throughout Munich and Germany at the height of World War II. Sophie Scholl, a 21-year-old Protestant, was the only woman at the core of the underground resistance group known as the White Rose. Despite her discovery and execution, the film's message and portrayal of her is hopeful and defiant. Hungary's entry, Fateless„ one of the most nuanced Holocaust films ever made, has won high critical acclaim but is probably too ambiguous to win Oscar recognition. The story is based on a novel by Hungarian Jewish writer Imre Kertesz, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2002, and it is told through the eyes of 14-year-old Gyuri Koves. Koves, hauntingly portrayed by
