Justine Triet’s Anatomy Of A Fall is the frontrunner for France’s Lumiere awards, the country’s answer to the Golden Globes, with 6 nominations, including for best film and best director.
The courtroom drama, starring Sandra Hüller as a writer who may have murdered her husband, won the Palme d’Or in Cannes this year and swept the European Film Awards on the weekend, taking 5 trophies, including best film. Anatomy of Fall, a Neon release in the U.S., has been nominated for 4 Golden Globes.
Tran Anh Hung’s foodie period drama The Taste of Things, which was picked over Anatomy of a Fall as France’s country’s official Oscar contender in the best international feature category, received just one Lumiere nom, for best cinematography.
Another French courtroom drama, Cedric Kahn’s The Goldman Case, picked up 5 Lumiere noms, tying with Thomas Cailley’s sci-fi tale The Animal Kingdom. Both are best film contenders, together with Anatomy, Catherine Breillat’s stepmom seduction tale Last Summer, which received 4 Lumiere noms, and Clément Cogitore’s supernatural noir Son of Ramses, which picked up 3 nominations. Triet, Kahn, Breillat and Cogitore are all in contention for the best director honor.
Nominees in the best international co-production category include Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s About Dry Grasses, Ken Loach’s UK immigration story The Old Oak, Kamal Lazraq’s Hounds, Vladimir Perisic’s Lost Country and Maryam Touzani’s The Blue Caftan.
Like the Golden Globes, the Lumières are voted on by the international press, in this case, correspondents from 36 countries working in France. The 2024 Lumiere Awards ceremony will be held in Paris on Jan. 22.
