Forget Hollywood
European cinema is really starting to make great films again.
Anatomy of a Fall does everything right. Good acting, directing, great script, subtle photography. Even the dog acts well!
The film feels very realistic and asks serious questions about truth. In complex personal dramas does objective truth exist, or is it up to us to decide what truth is?
Themes of sex, family, ambition and of cultural and geographical dislocation are explored in a sophisticated way, through the lense of a courtroom drama that reflects the contradictions and difficulties of family life.
Who, anywhere makes films as good as this?
