(aka "Anatomy of a Fall")
Directed by Justine Triet
France 2023
The closer we look, the less we know in Justine Triet’s masterful, Oscar-winning Anatomy of a Fall, an eerily riveting courtroom thriller that examines the line where truth becomes fiction and fiction becomes truth. When Sandra Voyter (a transfixing Sandra Hüller), a writer who turns the material of her life into autofiction, is put on trial for the suspicious death by defenestration—or was it suicide?—of her husband, it opens up an inquiry that will turn a troubled home inside out. Tapping into the minimalist intensity of a chamber drama—and using intricate, elliptical editing—Triet constructs a mystery that is ultimately less about a death than about the hidden lives we lead. *** Sandra, Samuel and their visually impaired son Daniel have been living in a remote mountain location for the past year. When Samuel is found dead outside the house, an investigation for death in suspicious circumstances is launched. Amidst the uncertainty, Sandra is indicted: Was it suicide or homicide ? A year later Daniel attends his mothers trial, a veritable dissection of his parents relationship. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Criterion use a DTS-HD Master 5.1 surround track (24-bit) with about
50/50 English and French. There are only a few separation effects - but
they are effective. Anatomy of a Fall
has no credited score but impacting music; 50 Cent's (as Curtis Jackson)
P.I.M.P. performed by Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, Milo Machado-Graner
performing Isaac Albéniz's Asturias (Leyenda) and by Miguel
Baselga in another scene, notable is Frédéric Chopin's Prélude en Mi
Mineur Op. 28 No. 4 and Variations sur un Prélude based upon
a theme by Chopin performed by Benoit Danie. It all sounds clean and consistent
with a few deft separations via the lossless transfer. There is also a
lossy 'descriptive audio track' option. Criterion offer optional English
(SDH)
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.
The Criterion
Blu-ray
Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall
is the director's fourth feature film. It is an intricate, well
realized, slow-burning, courtroom drama. She wrote Anatomy of a
Fall (with Arthur Harari;
Dark Diamond)
specifically for the German lead Sandra Hüller. It was their second collaboration following 2019's
complex and fascinating
Sibyl. The title certainly references Otto Preminger's classic
psychological courtroom thriller "Anatomy
of a Murder". Anatomy of a Fall
is an exceptionally compelling courtroom curio, with slow reveals, French legal
idiosyncrasies and thoughtful ambiguity. If not brilliant, then
impressively entertaining. The Criterion Blu-ray
