Anatomy of a Fall

A man is dead at the bottom of a chalet. The trial wants a story that fits, and the marriage does not fit cleanly. Triet stays with Sandra Hüller’s novelist and with the son who was in the house. Language keeps changing — French, English, German — and each switch is a small loss of control. The NEON trailer leans on the courtroom. The film is more interested in the recording that will not stay private.
