The music blasted vengefully by Samuel from an upper room cuts Sandras flirty discussion short. In the films opening sequence, we see Sandra being interviewed by a female graduate student as a steel drum version of 50 Cents P.I.M.P. plays on deafening repeat. Samuel is a writer, too his career is just not as important. Shes a German living in a multistory chalet in the French alps with her French husband Samuel (Samuel Theis) and their 11-year old son Daniel (Milo Machado Graner), who is blind. Sandra (Sandra Hüller) is an acclaimed novelist and translator shes cocky, bisexual and her flinty gaze could scatter a crowd. Instead, ∺natomy of a Fall, the fourth feature by the 45-year-old French filmmaker, places a powerful woman on trial and asks: How does a reversal of gender roles transform the way we perceive guilt and innocence? Ive watched hundreds and hundreds of films in which women are violated, killed, chopped up films that say look at this poor, suffering woman, Triet said recently over a drink in Manhattan. Triet has directed rom-coms, relationship dramas and now, a courtroom whodunit: all magnify the fears and anxieties of women who work and play hard. Justine Triet, the writer and director behind this years Palme dOr winner, ∺natomy of a Fall, makes movies about the misadventures of working girls and the double standards faced by mothers who have the audacity to be, well, unmotherly.
