NEON has to be happy right now, because they’ve got yet another Palme d’Or winner in their stable. The 2023 Cannes Film Festival has come to a close, and the prestigious honor was presented to Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall. The film becomes NEON’s fouth Palme d’Or winner in a row following Parasite, Titane, and Triangle of Sadness.
Triet joins an exclusive club of female directors to win the award, along with Jane Campion for The Piano and Julia Ducournau for Titane.
Anatomy of a Fall stars Sandra Hüller as a German writer arrested following the mysterious death of her husband and must try to prove her innocence during the trial. The film will be released in France this August, but NEON has yet to confirm a U.S. date. Expect that to change soon following this victory.
