ANATOMY OF A FALL

When Samuel is found dead in the snow outside his chalet, there’s initial uncertainty as to how he got there – did he jump, did he slip or was he pushed? Police decide his death is suspicious, and his tumultuous relationship with wife Sandra (Sandra Hüller) is uncomfortably laid bare, with all of their secrets exposed. A gripping courtroom drama ensures, focussing on the murder trial of Sandra and the impact it has on her vision impaired son Daniel. The use of music (particularly @50cent’s P.I.M.P.) and sound throughout ‘Anatomy of a fall’ is poignant and complements the excellent acting and script. Deserving of the Palme d’Or in 2023 and the Best Screenplay Academy Award for Justine Triet. Plus there’s a wonderful dog called Snoop, played by border collie Messi. A brilliant must watch!
