Anatomie d'une chute: My movie crush!

 by Pierre Grange (level B2) 


Before the start of the school year, why not talk about cinema?

 

Maybe you've already seen this movie (released on August 23rd) that many people are talking about: "Anatomie d'une chute".

This film, directed by Justine TREIT received the Palme d'Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

There is no doubt that it will certainly have a lot of success with the public.

The story :

Sandra, Samuel and their 11-year-old visually-impaired son, Daniel, have been living for a year far from everything, in the mountains of Maurienne in Savoie.

One day, Samuel is found dead.

A suspicious death investigation has been opened. Sandra is soon charged despite the doubt: suicide or homicide?

What really happened?

In the absence of witnesses, we will never know, but the path that leads to this mystery is fascinating.

 

Beyond the police intrigue, the film analyzes and dissects the story of this couple.

 

I won’t tell you the essential role of the son (Daniel) in the story.

I will also not reveal the verdict of the trial and the end of the film.

I leave the suspense...

But doubt will surely hover in the minds of many spectators.

 

By the way, why talk about a French movie in an English blog ?

Because beyond the script, the staging and the quality of interpretation of the actors, an important point should be noted for us, learners in English at the UIAD.

 

Most of the dialogues are in English, although the film is presented in French.

Therefore, seeing this (very good) film represents an excellent opportunity to improve our understanding.

 

So, don't hesitate: run to see (or see again) "Anatomie d'une chute"!

Certainly one of the best movies of the year (in my opinion).
