“Everything that comes from now on will be a pure gift, it will be more”assured Tuesday January 23 to France Culture, Arthur Harari, co-writer of the film Anatomy of a fall with his partner, director Justine Triet. Their film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Screenplay.

“I thought that being nominated for best screenplay was still possible”he explained. “The competition in this category was a little less than in others because among the big fish, there are several that are adaptations”. “I also thought that there would undoubtedly be Sandra Hüller [nommée dans la catégorie ‘meilleure actrice’]. Afterwards, beyond that, it seemed uncertain to bet”.

“My position is that we should not expect anything and that was already my position on the nominations”continued Arthur Harari. “It’s easy for me to say, I’m not the director of the film, I’m in a slightly more protected place, but I think that everything that comes from now on will be a pure gift, it will be the most . What falls will be extraordinary.”

“You also have to have your head on your shoulders and keep a cool head when it comes to the success story”he also declared. “We must not have our teeth stuck in the ground and we must calmly try to tell ourselves that this is already really crazy. If we have nothing we already have everything”concluded the screenwriter.
