Anatomy of a Fall has won an impressive string of awards including the coveted Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, and an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in last week’s Oscars.

When her husband Samuel is mysteriously found dead in the snow below their secluded chalet, Sandra becomes the main suspect when the police begin to question whether he fell or was pushed.

The trial soon becomes not just an investigation, but a gripping psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel's complicated marriage.
