With 'Broken Circle,' Belgium vies for first Oscar

This image released by the Tribeca Film Festival shows Veerle Baetens in a scene from "The Broken Circle Breakdown." When Belgian film producer Dirk Impens lost out in the Oscars 21 years ago, he remembers swearing to himself never to put on a tuxedo again unless he had another shot at the golden statuette. This Sunday March 2, 2014 , he’ll be wearing that tux. The small European country of Belgium, birthplace of Audrey Hepburn and Jean-Claude Van Damme, has never won a foreign film Oscar. This year, it has a nominee in “The Broken Circle Breakdown,” a heartstring-tugging drama with a bluegrass soundtrack about a man and woman who fall in love and must confront tragedy when their daughter develops cancer.
