ANATOMY OF A FALL

genres:

For the past year, Sandra, her husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he was murdered or committed suicide. Samuel's suspicious death is presumed murder, and Sandra becomes the main suspect. What follows is not just an investigation into the circumstances of Samuel's death but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel's conflicted relationship. This Cannes 2023 Palme D’Or winner from director Justine Triet is both a murder mystery and a courtroom drama, but more than that an examination of believability, doubt, and institutional misogyny under the guise of the pursuit of truth. Starring German actress Sandra Hüller (TONI ERDMANN) in what may be the best performance of her career.
