Anatomie d’une chute

Unless they pass up on the fall festival circuit and wait until ’23, Justine Triet is not going to make it four for four on the Croisette. With production set to begin in March and pending casting announcements to likely be made during Berlin Intl. Film Festival, Anatomie d’une chute (which translates to Anatomy of a fall) was co-written by her hubby Arthur Harari (who opened the Un Certain Regard section in Cannes last year with Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle) who contributed to all of Triet’s films to date. Produced by Les Films Pelleas’ David Thion and Marie-Ange Luciani’s Les Films de Pierre, this delves into the mother and child rapport. Triet’s Age of Panic premiered in ACID lineup, her sophomore feature Victoria opened the Cannes Critics’ Week, and her last feature Sibyl premiered in comp in Cannes in 2019.
