‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ Co-Writer Touches On How Her ‘Dark And Radical’ Script Came To Fruition During Pandemic Following Golden Globe Win For Screenplay
After winning best screenplay at Sunday night’s Golden Globes, Anatomy of a Fall director and co-writer Justine Triet talked about how the screenplay came to be and was grateful that things did not turn out like they did in the film.
“Looking back to when I started writing this project, we were in the delves of the pandemic and me and my life partner Arthur Harari, we spent our days writing the screenplay to Anatomy of a Fall, stuck in our apartment and strangely no one died,” she said.

“I remember us saying, ‘OK we are having a lot of fun but it is radical and dark and no one is going to see this movie,” she said. “Its too long they talk all the time, there is no score, a couple fighting, suicide, a dog vomiting, but I want to make this film. I don’t know exactly how things went off the tracks but I’m glad it is exactly what I love.”
The film’s screenplay beat tonight topped ones from Barbie, Oppenheimer, Poor Things, Past Lives and Killers of the Flower Moon.
The Neon film, which has received several accolades including the Palme d’Or at this years Cannes Film Festival, later tonight won the Globe for Best Picture Not in the English Language.
