Anatomy of a Fall, the winner of the Palme D'Or Award, 2 Golden Globes, 1 Critics Choice, 6 European Film Awards, and 7 BAFTA nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress, is set to be released in India on February 2, 2024. But before that, the film will have a special screening at the Jio MAMI on January 31, 2024.
The critically acclaimed film is a nuanced look at the breakdown of modern-day marriages and everyone it affects in its path. In this Palme d’Or-winning psychological thriller, a celebrated writer finds herself on trial when her husband plunges to his death from their secluded chalet. What begins as a murder investigation soon transforms into an interesting journey into the depths of a tumultuous marriage.
What sets this courtroom drama apart is its suspenseful mood. To make it look more authentic and interesting, director Justine Triet mentioned, "We received valuable guidance from a criminal lawyer named Vincent Courcelle-Labrousse. This allowed me to create a distinctly French film and take a different approach from the more spectacle-driven American courtroom dramas."Speaking about the nature of the film, she also mentioned, "During post-production, I spent considerable time working with my editor, Laurent Sénéchal, to slow down the pace of the film, keep shots imperfect, and maintain a slightly shaky, raw feel to the film. I didn't want it to be too polished or predictable. In the end, I discovered a new formal pleasure in making this film."
Maitreyee Dasgupta, Co-Director, Jio MAMI, added, "We are thrilled to bring these exceptional titles to Jio MAMI audiences in association with our partners. Anatomy of Fall was one of the most watched films at our festival in 2023, and we are excited to bring it back for people who couldn't get the chance to watch it at the festival. Through our year-round programmes, we not only aim to bring the best cinema and creators from around the world face-to-face with the Indian audience but also provide an excellent platform for filmmakers and film audiences to create exposure to the key aspects of the film and filmmaking process, leading to ease of creation, business, and a more cinema-aware audience."
