Justine Triet is on cloud nine… While the 81st Golden Globes ceremony took place this Sunday, January 7, 2024 from Los Angeles, the French director has taken the stage several times.
And for good reason, after winning the Palme d’Or at Cannes last May, Justine Triet was awarded two Golden Globes in the categories of best foreign language film and best screenplay for her film entitled Anatomy of a fall. A success across the Atlantic that has not happened since the triumph of the feature film
The Artist
(2011) worn by Jean Dujardin.
“When we started writing this project with my life and work partner Arthur Harari, we were in the middle of a pandemic, stuck in our apartment, and strangely, no one died,” declared Justine Triet on stage, not without humor, when receiving her first prize.
“I remember we were like, ‘Okay, we’re having a lot of fun, but it’s way too radical and dark. No one is going to see this movie. It’s too long, they’re talking all the time , there’s not enough music, a couple fighting, a suicide, a dog vomiting’. But I wanted to make this film. I don’t know exactly how things worked out, but I’m so happy. I was able to do exactly what I love“she concluded, moved by this consecration.

The day after the ceremony, this Monday January 8, 2024, the President of the Republic took pains to congratulate the filmmaker. “Proud to see French cinema rewarded at the Golden Globes. Congratulations to Justine Triet, the actors and the entire team of the film Anatomy of a Fall”he wrote via his X account (formerly Twitter).
An expected speech given that the woman who was awarded two statuettes had criticized the government during her speech at the Cannes Film Festival. “The country has been crossed by a historic, extremely powerful, unanimous protest against pension reform. This protest has been denied and repressed in a shocking way”she declared when collecting her prize.
Statements that did not leave Elisabeth Borne indifferent: “Perhaps the director needs to think about her relationship with reality, when she finds that creation is not sufficiently supported”replied the Prime Minister of the government…
