,” one of the best reviewed films of the Cannes competition, which was bought by Neon, examines the collapse of a marriage and a mother-and-son relationship in a documentary-style courtroom drama. The chamber piece is driven by Sandra Hüller’s nuanced performance as a successful German novelist on trial for the murder of her husband , who died in mysterious circumstances in a remote corner of the snowy French Alps.
“Anatomy of a Fall” marks a departure in terms of genre and tone for Triet, though she co-wrote it with Arthur Harari, with whom she co-wrote her previous three movies, “La bataille de Solferino,” “Victoria” and “Sibyl” — all of which were lighter fare. Repped by Mk2 films, the movie was produced by Les Films Pelléas and Les Films de Pierre.
my intentions, formally speaking. We filmed things in a particular way and didn’t use any flashbacks. Instead, we placed an emphasis on a few crucial sound bites. I think sound can be so much more emotionally powerful than images.At first, my co-writer and I tried to adapt a true story but the ones we found were too predictable. There weren’t many cases out there where we couldn’t guess the ending and where I could find a complex relationship to explore.
Ultimately “Anatomy of a Fall” is as much a courtroom drama as a feminist film. Where did you pull your inspiration from? Otto Preminger’s “Anatomy of a Murder” — I could even describe “Anatomy of a Fall” as an homage to Preminger’s film. It was one of the first criminal cases that was adapted into a film and while it seems classical and slow by today’s standards, it was a very modern at the time. I’ve seen it so many times and it’s a film that has strangely haunted me for the last 10 years.
