Film is only the third directed by a woman to win festival’s prestigious top prize
Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall has won the Palme d’Or at the 76th Cannes film festival.
The twisty French Alps courtroom drama, which stars Sandra Hüller as a writer trying to prove her innocence in her husband’s death, is only the third film directed by a woman to win the festival’s prestigious top prize. One of the two previous winners, Julia Ducournau, was on this year’s jury.
