“Electric Palme d’Or-winning courtroom thriller…A tantalising screenplay keeps the audience guessing in Justine Triet’s gripping French drama in which superb lead actor Sandra Hüller plays a woman suspected of her husband’s murder.” – The Guardian
Anatomy of a Fall positively revels in shades of grey. Just as our lead character slips effortlessly between conversing in English, French and German, so too does she glide constantly back and forth between guilty and not guilty. As we move into the drama of the courtroom and further away from the incident itself, Triet confronts us with the fallibility of memory in a way only a master filmmaker can. Audiences will be thinking about this one long after the credits have rolled.
