Cannes lowered the curtain on his issue number 76 and gave the highest award to Anatomy of a fall (Anatomie d’une chute), judicial drama by Justine Triet, a French filmmaker who became the third director to win the Palme d’Or.
The tape introduces us to Sandra (Sandra Hüller), a German writer who lives with her husband, Samuel, and their blind son, Daniel, in a chalet in the middle of the French Alps. When Samuel dies under mysterious circumstances, the investigation can’t determine if it was a suicide or a homicide. She will be arrested and tried for murder, and the process puts her tumultuous relationship and her ambiguous personality in the spotlight.
Before the closure, the critics had already praised the tape. “The French director Justine Triet imposes her stark and meticulous reading of human relations”said the Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
“A bright psychological thriller that lasts for days. An impressive film”, they opined in the important Telegraph.
While The Hollywood Reporter read: “Guiding us by elusive memories, ever-evolving tales, and dubious narrators in this fascinating and deeply intelligent film, Triet accomplishes the most difficult feat of all: earning our complete trust.”
The ABC newspaper made it clear yesterday that “one of the best editions of the Cannes Film Festival in recent years came to a close, with an official section in which there was cinema for all tastes, from the good good to the bad bad”.
