Unveiling the Unpunished: Exploring Power Dynamics in 'Anatomy of a Fall'

Justine Triet, the writer and director of the Palme d'Or-winning film "Anatomy of a Fall," explores the double standards faced by women who work and play hard. The film places a powerful woman on trial, challenging the perception of guilt and innocence when gender roles are reversed. Triet aims to move away from films that portray women as victims and instead focuses on the scrutiny and moralistic judgment faced by women who choose to lead their lives differently. The film highlights the tensions between a successful novelist and her husband, using their literary rivalry against her in court. Triet's win at Cannes marks a shift in awareness over gender equality in France's film industry.
