“I didn’t realize it was so high…” “Yeah.” Picturehouse in the UK has unveiled a new official UK trailer for the acclaimed French drama Anatomy of a Fall. There has already been one US trailer from last month, but now that a UK date is set, it’s getting another promo. The film is the big Palme d’Or winner this year from the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and it’s also playing at TIFF and NYFF. The legal procedural thriller is about a German woman who’s suspected of her husband’s murder after he falls out a window in their French Alps mountain home. Their blind son faces a moral dilemma as the sole witness, though only from what he heard. The story is very clearly inspired by real life the case of Michael Peterson (with the gender swapped for his character), which was covered in The Staircase series. The film stars Sandra Hüller as Sandra, joined by Swann Arlaud, Milo Machado Graner, Antoine Reinartz, and Samuel Theis, directed by Justine Triet. It’s one of the most talked about films of 2023 and will likely pull in audiences curious to find out what it’s all about. Opening in the US in October, then in the UK on November 10th this fall. Get a look.

For the past year, Sandra (Hüller), a German writer, her French husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he committed suicide or was killed. Samuel’s death is treated as suspicious, presumed murder, and Sandra becomes the main suspect. Little by little the trial becomes not just an investigation of the circumstances of the death, but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel’s conflicted relationship. Anatomy of a Fall, originally known as Anatomie d’une Chute in French, is directed by French filmmaker Justine Triet, director of the films Age of Panic, Victoria, and Sibyl previously, plus a few other short films. The screenplay is written by Arthur Harari and Justine Triet. Produced by Marie-Ange Luciani and David Thion. This initially premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the fest’s Palme d’Or top prize. Madman Films will debut Anatomy of a Fall in cinemas later this year – stay tuned for news. Neon has confirmed they will release the film in select US theaters (in NY & LA) starting October 13th, 2023. Want to watch this?
