The Anatomy of a Fall is a psychological thriller 

Writer Justine Triet with co-writer Arthur Harari scripted the French psychological thriller during the pandemic. 

While accepting the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay (Motion Picture), Triet stated, “We spent our days writing the screenplay to Anatomy of a Fall, stuck in our apartment and strangely no one died.” The French masterpiece was up against Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, Celine Song’s Past Lives, and more. 

As for the Best Picture in the Non-English Language category, it competed against movies from Italy (Io Capitano), Spain (Society of the Snow), the UK (The Zone of Interest), Finland (Fallen Leaves) and the USA (Past Lives). 

Anatomy of a Fall has not been submitted to the Oscars

Anatomy of a Fall stars Sandra Hüller in the lead role as she navigates to clear herself of accusations of murdering her husband.

The Cannes and Golden Globe winner, however, will not be contending for the Best Picture award at the prestigious Oscars, as France went with The Taste of Things as its official submission in the category. Was it a mistake? Only time will tell.
