Anatomy of a Fall movie review: Sandra Hüller stuns in this Oscar-nominated film | Hollywood

Anatomy of a Fall review: Sandra Hüller has always been a compelling actor, one simply needs to watch her shed a solitary tear in 2016’s Toni Erdmann to witness the amount of deliberate indifference she eschews in with her presence. The same opacity of her face is the blank canvas on which Justine Triet’s Palme D’or winning courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall rests. (Also read: The Teacher’s Lounge movie review: Germany’s Oscar nominee is a compelling tour de force) Anatomy of a Fall is nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Golden Globe Winners 2024: The Full List, From Oppenheimer to Succession

The 2024 Golden Globes were held earlier on Sunday night in Los Angeles, honouring the best talent in the film and television industry from the past year. Oppenheimer reigned supreme at the ceremony, bagging five awards, including the Best Motion Picture Drama trophy. Its helmer Christopher Nolan was crowned Best Director in the same category, while lead Cillian Murphy and co-star Robert Downey Jr. took home the acting prizes. Meanwhile, Yorgos Lanthimos’ absurd Frankenstein-inspired film Poor Things won the award for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy, with its star Emma Stone snagging the Best Actress accolade.

From Barbie to Killers of the Flower Moon: The Best Movies of 2023

What are the best movies of 2023? Well, that depends on who you’re asking, but I’ll admit that as I compiled my personal favourites, I was surprised at the amount of blockbuster entries taking up space. ‘Barbenheimer,’ the theatrical film event of the year, was a no-brainer pick, for having not only delivered the most juxtaposing clash of themes on a single release date since the pandemic era, but also bringing back moviegoers to the theatres. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie was an overtly pink and joyous movie about living dolls and feminism, while Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was a bleak biopic about the creator of the atomic bomb. In case you’re wondering, I liked Barbie more (slightly). Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the second chapter in Miles Morales’ multiversal tale, was another standout, blending multiple animation styles to tell the story of teenage struggles and parenthood. And so was Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon — a period Western that tells the story of insidious Osage murders. Unfortunately, only half of the films on this list were …

Cannes 2023: Full List Of Winners

French director Justine Triet poses with the trophy at Cannes. (Image Courtesy: AFP) A tense courtroom drama about a writer accused of her husband’s murder took the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, capping a strong year for women filmmakers.  French director Justine Triet became only the third woman ever to win the festival’s top prize with the icy tale Anatomy of a Fall, led by a riveting performance from German actress Sandra Hueller. Triet used her acceptance speech to slam the government of President Emmanuel Macron for the “shocking” way it imposed a law increasing the retirement age in France. But she said she was “deeply touched.” “I am very pleased to be the third woman who has gotten this prize, things are truly changing and for the best,” she told reporters. There were a record seven women among the 21 entries competing at Cannes this year, and many featured complex female characters. Anatomy of a Fall included a standout performance by Messi, the border collie who plays a pivotal role …
