The 44-year-old filmmaker chose to politicize her speech and discuss pension reform as well as police violence in France.

As a reminder, “Anatomy of a fall“, which dissects the intimate life of a couple with a child, was a hit in theaters. In September 2023, a month after its release, Justine Triet’s feature film had already exceeded one million admissions.
