Loved Anatomy of a Fall, and I’m interested to see what kind of legs it has in awards season. It’s the kind of thing I could see attracting a decent audience, with its strong hook and the true crime dressings, but it’s also long, and French, and necessarily alienating.
Also, I joked in another thread that Snoop deserved a dog Oscar--I had no idea that was an actual thing! Good boy, Snoop.
I think it's going to get some attention for its performances and its script, in critics guilds maybe more than the Oscars/Globes/whatever. The one major hiccup is that France opted not to submit it for Best International Feature, despite it winning the Palme. That honor instead went to Tran Anh Hung's The Taste of Things, which I'm told is also terrific.
I need to check out Anatomy Of A Fall again, but what I will say is that Sandra Hüeller is having a hell of a year between this and The Zone Of Interest, and I for one welcome it wholeheartedly.

Not to derail Neon's social media campaign at the start of the film (the "didshedoit" URL that abruptly shows up and leaves before the chorus line of European production titles beings for a few minutes) but I think we can all agree based on the closing shot it was Snoop. The best boy needed more room on the bed.
I very much enjoyed Anatomy, but was curious about the didshedoit web address beforehand, as it implies from the beginning there’ll be no resolution at the end of the film. Sort of a weird choice?Marketing, I guess.

Gorgeous food cinematography, but also a wonderful love story at the center.
Ha, the Palm Dog from 2009: Antichrist, The Fox (rules were bent)
Fittingly, chaos reigned.

No jury in the world would convict him.
Trier or Triet?
Indeed. (Fixed.)
