Dhe legal drama “Anatomy of a Case” triumphed at the French César Film Awards on Friday evening. The film by French director Justine Triet took home a total of six awards, including best director.
German actress Sandra Hülser won the best actress award for her performance in the film about a German writer suspected of murdering her husband. She felt very honored, especially as a German, said Hülser in Paris.
In the film by director Justine Triet, Hülser plays a successful German writer who is suspected of murdering her French husband. She is also nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for the role.
Born in 1978 in Suhl, Thuringia, Hülser was on stage in renowned theaters from an early age. Her second feature film – in “Requiem” she portrayed a young woman with epilepsy who dies in an exorcism – won her the Silver Bear at the Berlinale in 2006. In Maren Ade's comedy “Toni Erdmann” (2016), as a management consultant obsessed with self-optimization, she showed that German humor can be transferred to an international audience.
The award-winning British-American director Christopher Nolan received the honorary César. Nolan attended the ceremony with his wife Emma Thomas.
The César, named after the sculptor César Baldaccini, is the French version of the Oscar film awards. It has been awarded since 1976.
