A very cool movie. Hit me one hundred percent.
At first it was boring, and everything seems to be clear, but at the moment of the quarrel (the one from the recording) everything went very cheerfully.
And the scene of that quarrel is just a tower of scenic skill.

The movie is good. But one moment confused me: the kid washes the dog, wipes it with a towel and immediately goes for a walk with her. In winter! Good boy).

I wouldn't give him a branch, there are no gays. Joke... The film is a one-off, the advantages include the evenness of the narrative, balanced dialogues and monologues, but this spoils it all. He came out too sterile, no stress, no morality.

@Gabalus: Well, you're wrong about morality, it turns out you watched 2.5 hours in vain. The moral was even pronounced in the film, and in detail, specifically focusing on this, the open ending is just for this, so that the viewer chooses the same as the blind son. The whole movie, we are essentially this boy, listening like him, the whole story blindly.

@Gabalus: I disappoint you, there are gays: Sandra admits that she cheated on her husband with a girl, and the accuser clearly hints at her interest in the student. However, even in the subtitles they translated "the husband found messages from a man ", and not as in the original " from a woman". If you watched it in dubbing, maybe they rubbed everything there at all - both the indication of the sex of the mistress, and the insinuations of the accuser.

@MelaniMariaMari: on the film search, her affair was changed from a woman to a man, but at the same time they left all the hints that she could have changed with her student (and the phrase that if it was a male student, the accusation would have acted the same way). if you think about it, then our dubbing spoiled the actions of the prosecution (it sounded too far-fetched). it turned out very twofold. on the one hand, no one denies that she could be interested in women, and on the other, they changed their mistress for a lover.

The film is great, it's interesting how the procedural slowly flows into another Marriage story. But still, it cannot be denied that the action is too long.
I would like to mention the Prosecutor separately. A person just does his job, but it really pisses me off)

P.S I don't know what dubbing I watched, but lipsink was amazing

in the middle of the film (when the recording of the quarrel appeared, information about the theft) I already thought that wow! It's about to spin! but after that, they started pouring from empty to empty again. as a result, 2.5 hours is just about nothing.

I don't know, in my opinion, it's an incredible mess, even the shooting itself with all this graininess and defocusing at the edges..
The recorded quarrel is just great.
And yes, as they wrote, it looks like the Peterson case (https://myshows.me/view/30887 / - documentary 13 episodes) (and I kept waiting for the owl at the end)
In general, in such films I always feel like I'm on the jury, and the prosecution could not convince me of guilt. Well, plus the investigator, who answers the question with "or " not with one of the options, but gives his assessment to the defendant.
And if there are some movies, I can pause and continue after sleep - I watched this one continuously.

And here they had to answer the main question, what happened after all. And then somehow two and a half hours were wasted, without an answer to the main question.

@vbkb: in court, they came to the conclusion that if they helped, then not the wife. and if she is, then you still need to prove it. The prosecutor himself has repeated many times that unlikely does not mean impossible. what if the son went for a walk, the wife fell asleep, and the student returned, killed the man and left again? unlikely, but not impossible. maybe someone is left-wing. The only thing that was determined was that you couldn't touch your wife.

in general, I thought that there would be a topic such that someone specially glued the tape to confuse the kid. well, there was an idea that six months ago a man also stuffed a dog with aspirin, and passed off the vomit as his own. I do not know what people in France eat in such a way that the smell is the same as from the vomit of a dog.

@vbkb: the court came to the conclusion that the heroine was acquitted, which means they did not pin the murder on her. She was released and the charges were dropped, what else do you need? But you can decide for yourself whether she killed or not. In many real-life investigations, this happens - there is not always 100% proof.

The finale remains ambiguous and gives everyone the opportunity to analyze all the facts they have heard and make their own personal verdict. I am inclined to believe that


SPOILER ALERT

the husband committed suicide, but arranged it in such a way that the wife he hated would definitely fall under suspicion. He provoked her into a scandal by secretly recording everything on a dictaphone, bruised his wife so that it resembled the last futile attempts to grab his killer on the edge of the window. And when she didn't hit him seriously in return, he began to beat himself on the head and against the wall, trying his best to take revenge on her in this way. This explains his excellent attitude as a psychiatrist's patient, because thinking about a plan, a brilliant plan, brings so much pleasure and euphoria, which now will certainly be able to annoy the very scoundrel who ruined his life!

A lot of comments in the style of "no intrigue, no twist" and so on. It seems that people are too used to standard detective stories. But this is a judicial and family drama, in some ways akin to the Marriage Story of Baumbach, which is based on interpersonal conflicts and contradictions. This is a story of people, not "let's twist the plot 10 times to entertain the viewer." The court is only a way to tell us about what was going on in this family, and not the purpose of the story itself.
The finale is open, but personally I do not see this heroine capable of committing murder, everything that we have been shown about her is yes, she is not an ideal and not the most supportive wife, but hardly the murderer of her husband. And any "perversions of the plot " in the style of " and in the end we will find out how she did it, which tapes she glued and where she hid the weapon" would negate the whole tragedy of this family.

If you want films with a twist at the end in the genre of judicial drama, you can look at the old primitive fear with Richard Gere or The Fracture with Anthony Hopkins, or The Life of David Gale.34;, or a more comedic version of My cousin Vinnie. For those who are not afraid of old school "Witness for the Prosecution" - there are already several plot twists. Although I can not guarantee that they will not seem boring to you, despite their more dynamic plot, compared to the Anatomy of a fall.
Then just accept the fact that the genre of "judicial drama" is not for you.

@albinka_: there is only one tragedy here - a visually impaired child. The rest is shit on a stick. A woman cuckolds a man, he has a crisis and he throws himself out of the window. What was he wrong about in their dialogue? She is a manipulator and an abuser, pure and simple. And even if she didn't throw him out, she drove him to suicide. Xs, how are they, but with us, this is a criminal article. 🤷‍♂️

@Gabalus: Well, you most likely, as a man, just correlated him with yourself, and therefore empathize with him more.
But if you look at the plot: we have a man who really wanted to write a novel, which was very difficult to progress, and then his son got sick and he was able to write again, but he took pills for depression and again it did not work.. and then I just couldn't, even without the pills. Yes, his wife probably wasn't attentive and supportive enough, but it wasn't her fault that she was able to write and was successful, and he couldn't. Plus, apparently there was not enough help from a specialist who did not understand the situation deeply and fueled some kind of resentment of the husband against his wife. And infidelity is usually resolved by divorce, if such a situation does not suit.

There is a feeling of guilt for the story with my son + a feeling of deep dissatisfaction with myself. And "drove to suicide" - this is a rather dubious thesis, rather " did not save from suicide and did not help to avoid it". The man canceled the medication for depression, which, apparently, he had quite a strong one, no matter how the therapist protected himself.
There are people who just tend to blame everyone around them and be a victim, there are people who are prone to bad thoughts, including suicidal ones (and no matter how much you help them, there is already a huge wormhole somewhere in the depths that destroys. The words of the father in the car show that he had already decided everything a long time ago, he was just choosing the time. And even the fact that he would hurt his son did not stop him), but there are more persistent ones who, even under terrible circumstances, continue to live.
And the fact that you have completely shifted the blame to your wife is most likely an indicator that you also tend to blame others more than yourself.

@albinka_: Why is the final open? Obviously, his wife didn't kill him. After testifying that with such a height of the railing and the weight of the victim, the accused could not physically commit this crime, the trial could be closed. The rest of the arguments, such as interweaving the plot of a novel to real life or recording a quarrel made without the consent of his wife, would not be taken into account by any normal court.

@albinka_: Yeah. As her son said in his closing speech, they were always looking for how she could do it, and found nothing. I think if there was any real clue, they would have unearthed it.
But, I admit, part of me also expected a twist in the style of a wow detective, like that the dog ran to the attic for a ball, bit her husband's ass, he lost his balance and fell :)) I got revenge for the aspirin, so to speak :))
