It's remarkable that the first credit in the end roll goes to "le chien," the dog Snoop (Messi). It's appropriate: his portrayal of a poisoned, dying animal won the Palm D'og in 2023, and honestly, he earns it. In a film full of uncertainty and competing narratives, the dog's suffering is the one unambiguous truth. Anatomy of a Fall joins the club of great courtroom dramas, standing comfortably alongside Witness for the Prosecution, 12 Angry Men, Inherit the Wind. The script is meticulously constructed, the acting uniformly excellent, the directing assured and precise. Justine Triet orchestrates the slow unraveling of a marriage and the legal machinery that attempts to assign blame with remarkable control; we're never quite sure what happened, and that ambiguity becomes the film's greatest strength. But there's something deeply unsettling beneath the craft, and it's not just the mystery of whether Sandra killed her husband. The story carries an unmistakable misogynist slant. The male investigator cannot, will not, entertain any possibility other than the woman killed her husband. His mind is made up before the investigation truly begins. The male witnesses align themselves with thi

French movie with a drama / courtroom theme that is gripping more into it's realistic tone than others movies that create unexpected and unbelievable tones, directed by Justine Triet from a screenplay she co-wrote with Arthur Harari (Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle). Currently it is the winner of Canne's Palm D'or and nominated for five Academy awards, being those Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Achievement in Directing, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, Best Original Screenplay, Best Achievement in Film Editing. It tells the story of In an isolated mountain chalet near Grenoble, where the problematic couple French Samuel Maleski is playing music in his attic so loudly that interrupts an interview of his German wife, Sandra Voyter (played by Sandra Hüller), and son Daniel (partially blind), returns from a long walk with his guide dog Snoop to find Samuel dead below his attic window. From there and all the theories, criminal analysis and courtroom judicial processes guide the movie and gain the midia of the country. Do not expect CSI level invention on this one - it is logical and reasonable as a movie that analyses the crisis in the couple and the impact on

It’s always disappointing when a film aspires to greatness that it never achieves. Such is the case with the latest offering from French writer-director Justine Triet, whose allegedly suspenseful thriller is about as appetizing as a plate of tepid leftovers. This crime investigation/courtroom drama about the mysterious death of a middle-aged unsuccessful writer (Samuel Theis) who falls from the second story of his mountain chalet looks into whether his demise is due to suicide or murder, with his wife (Sandra Hüller), herself a best-selling author, being the prime suspect. Despite an intriguing premise, however, the movie is overlong, needlessly talky and inherently flat, with a cold, clinical, unengaging narrative and characters who engender no connection, compassion or empathy. In essence, this is a “whodunnit” that plays like an extended “whocares.” Fault the screenplay here, which seeks to tell a tale in the same gripping vein as such great courtroom dramas as “Anatomy of a Murder” (1959) but that never achieves the level of tension, mystery and audience engagement needed to pull that off. The meticulously orchestrated script feels calculated and derivative virtually from start
