On Justine Triet’s Anatomie d’une chute (2023)
Gerard-Jan Claes, Anton Jäger, 2023
In strict accounting terms, Triet’s project has an undeniable plausibility – all the elements of the grand film draw present and Anatomie is hardly shy about its quality labels. Despite its critical theory and templates, however, Triet’s film all too often falls victim to its director’s quest for recognisability: a gentrified family film cannot so easily transcend the bounds of its genre.
