The Movie’s Success
Justine Triet’s movie, “Anatomy of a Fall,” won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, which is a big deal.
It got five nominations at the Academy Awards, the most prestigious film awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
Triet’s Historic Nomination
Justine Triet, the director, is super happy about the nominations.
She’s especially excited about being nominated for Best Director, and she believes she’s the first French woman to get this kind of recognition.
Significance of the Nomination
Triet thinks her nomination is a big deal because of her age and how the film industry is changing, especially with movements like MeToo.
She didn’t expect the nominations and found it a bit crazy. She even cried when she saw her editor’s name on the list for Best Editing.
Comparison with Big Productions
Triet is surprised that her film is competing with big movies like Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.”
Disappointment in Oscar Selection
Although her film wasn’t picked as France’s official entry for the International Oscars, she’s not too bummed because the Oscar campaign was still successful.
Possible Setback Due to Criticism
There’s a belief that some people in France’s cultural world turned against Triet after she criticized President Macron during her Cannes acceptance speech.
Triet’s Response
Despite this, Triet isn’t talking about politics and is focused on making movies.
She’s got plans to celebrate the nominations with friends and family, maybe with some champagne, or jokingly, something stronger than water.
Future Plans
Triet has a few ideas for new projects but wants to find time in a quiet space without distractions to start a new one after March.
Her movie also got seven nominations at the BAFTA Awards, which is another big deal in the UK, including Best Director, Best Film, and more.
