Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” took home the Palme d’Or at this year’s 76th Cannes Film Festival. Now distributor NEON (who is no stranger to acquiring Palme d’Or winners) is preparing for its release of the highly acclaimed French thriller by dropping a brand new trailer. Led by its star Sandra Hüller, the film looks to be a gripping mix of mystery, family drama, and courtroom procedural.
Written by Triet and Arthur Harari, “Anatomy of a Fall” sees Hüller playing a wife and mother named Sandra whose life is forever changed after her husband’s death. Suspicious circumstances spark an investigation which soon leads to Sandra being suspected of murder. She sets out to show her innocence but it proves difficult, especially with the only witness being their blind son Daniel (Milo Machado-Graner). The very concept is thoroughly compelling and the small bite we get from the trailer is simmering with tension.
“Anatomy of a Fall” opens in New York and Los Angeles on October 13th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Intriguing, I’ll see it if it streams.
I’m really looking forward to it.
Winning at Cannes and the concept are both compelling me to watch.
It looks and sounds really good. It will be interesting to see what kind of release it gets.
Yeah, I want to see this. There’s a bunch of Palme d’Or winners that I want to see as I’m trying to catch up on the winners that are available right now that I haven’t seen as I have been unable to last May because I had to deal with a 2 year old niece and a 4-year old nephew who love to run around the house.
Oh I completely understand. Little ones certainty demand attention! I remember those days well!
