Justine Triet / France 2023 / 151m / Cert 15 / Subtitles Sandra Huller stars in this Palme d’Or-winning courtroom thriller directed by Justine Triet. Daniel, a partially sighted 11-year-old, finds his French father dead in the snow outside the family’s isolated chalet where they live with Sandra, a successful German writer and his mother. An inquest into the death can’t rule out foul play, indicting Sandra with Daniel as a key witness. The prosecution concentrates on Sandra’s chosen priorities over her career and the apparent deep-seated unhappiness in their marriage that might make her capable of murder. The film examines the expected role of the wife within marriage and the status of a female migrant in France.
