Criterion Collection - Anatomy Of A Fall - DVD

The closer we look, the less we know in Justine Triet's masterful Palme d'Or-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 Hller), 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.
