The Palme d’Or, the first prize of the Cannes Film Festival, went to French director Justine Trier for her film “Anatomie d’une chute”, becoming the third female director to receive this highest award in the history of the Cannes Film Festival.
The events of the film highlight a French courtroom, where a writer named “Sandra Holler” appears before her trial after the death of her husband, as she faces accusations of his murder, but the case is unclear and there are no witnesses to the crime.
The psychological thriller is not necessarily about solving a crime, but instead sheds light on the blurred lines between fantasy, reality and the failure of a marriage.
