What is Best Picture?” Justine Triet’s reaction to her Oscar nomination

The director of Anatomy of a Fall was filmed during the announcements.

Anatomy of a fall caused a sensation on Tuesday by landing 5 Oscar nominations, unheard of for a French film since The Artist in 2012. The feature film Justine Triet is up for best film, best direction, best actress, best original screenplay and best editing. Just that !

The director followed the Academy’s announcements live on the internet, with relatives. A historic moment captured and shared on Instagram by Les Films de Pierre, the company that produced Anatomy of a falland with whom Justine Triet had already worked on Sibyl, his previous film. A funny moment too, since she took a while to react when the appointment ofAnatomy of a Fall at the Oscar for Best Picture has fallen. “What is Best Picture? What does it mean ?“, Triet asks, incredulous, before exploding with joy.

During international award ceremonies, it was noted that the French filmmaker did not master English to perfection. Whatever! That didn’t stop her from directing a major bilingual film and delivering a funny and touching speech at the Golden Globes, where Anatomy of a fall received two awards.

She has a few weeks ahead of her to prepare her, or even her, speeches. Anatomy of a fall is in fact the favorite for the Oscar for best original screenplay, and could, who knows, create a surprise in other categories. The Oscars ceremony will take place on the night of March 10 to 11, in Los Angeles.
