The child actor who played Daniel, Milo Machado-Graner did a fantastic job. He deserved more screen time and I wish the film has explored more of his psyche.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, but I don't think giving him more screentime would have made for a better movie. Every appearance he made was exactly what was needed for the development of both the story and his character, Daniel. Showing him more often would have diluted that presence and left us with a more confused perception as to what and who the movie was about.
I never thought, that Sandra did it, to begin with. But the prosecutor was clever and tried to some success to bend the story into a jealousy drama and Sandra getting rid of weakling in cold blood. But the real drama lies somewhere else anyway, IMHO: did Daniel in his testimony make up the story about his father speaking really about himself and not the dog or was that the truth? Daniel's mental torment is so high he even poisons his beloved dog just to prove a theory. This scene f'ed me up beyond anything else.
It was an accident, the dog’s ball did it. Samuel was throwing the ball down the stairs through a hole in the attic flooring. Snoop brought the ball back to Samuel and then was called by Daniel for a bath. Samuel tripped on the ball and fell backwards out of the window. Pay attention to the first scenes and also when the reporter is silenced when giving the verdict you can hear Snoop’s footsteps.
I like this idea! The times I have stepped on cat toys and almost fallen are numerous 🥴 Such fantastic performances by the dog and by the child actor especially ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@blue7cat10 Sandra herself didn’t believe he would kill himself, she says as much to the lawyer when touring the attic. The director has also said to pay attention to the dog’s behavior towards Sandra indicating that dog wouldn’t cozy up with her at the end if Sandra was a person with violent tendencies. It’s an ending that I can feel good about. 😊
sandra hueller was always a generational talent and i'm really happy that her hard work now lead to her being recognized with all the nominees. she will win an oscar - i have no doubt about that. could have won it this year - probably should have. she is also outstanding in zone of interest
I also think she sould have won this year. What she did on Anatomy was masterfull, so subtil, yet intense and credible, a bit like a documentary but better... she's a master of her art, for sure.
Its a shame that 2023 was one of the Best year for movies that I can remember and even though so many of these movies were recognized during awards season, more people didn't win. Sandra was phenomenal and strong enough to win something. The young actor basically was ignored for any nominations and barely talked about
Could anyone explain the dogs toenails against the floor at the beginning credits, two important time in film and at the end? Also it made me wonder why a boy would put his dog in harms way performing an experiment. It occurred to me that Daniel's dog, who left his ball on the floor where the husband was working could have jumped in him propelling him through the window and The son didn't say anything for fear of losing the dog. Those nails on the floor though.
Unlike many other countries, France and Germany have work hard since 1870, WW1 and WW2 wars to develop a close relationship and never repeat the horrors and mistakes of the past. They are close countries and shares many notions now, they don't always agree on what is good for Europe but they are very determined to always find a common ground. It was all possible because Germany worked hard on its shame for 3rd Reich and never repeat what happened and France wanted to forgive and to believe in the good will of Germany. So yes, actually the relation between Germany and France couldn't be more cordial.
@@glambertini4709 But you have a German saying, "Yes, I am violent" and then strikes him. They would find her guilty. In my home (Florida) she'd be on death row.
@@petercohn4325 Hello Peter, I agree with your assessment of the movie, it was very well done. I personally liked "The Society of the Snow" better, but that's just me. My comment, and I've made a few, has to do strictly with the verdict, which I thought the writer was not true to her own script with the not guilty verdict. In my opinion, and it's just my opinion, the evidence presented pointed to guilt, and the jury would likely have preconceived notions based on the defendant's cultural history. I hope this adds clarity.
He resented her success and blamed her for all of his shortcomings. She encouraged him to write and he still couldn’t accept any responsibility for his own position. Saying that, I totally agree that she didn’t do it- she didn’t need to. She would have been okay on her own and I think she knew that. She would have left him before doing that.
11:50 Just realized how different French court from the rest of the world. This is a great observation that add depth to the meaning. Thank you for sharing this observation!

He was great! Such a great performance

I have never seen a better fight scene between a married couple in a film.
Chilling.
💯 Extremely realistic.
Try "A marriage story" for great realism too
I don’t know. I’m not disagreeing but Marriage Story had a pretty good fight, conflict between the adults.
Consider watching " Marriage story" and " Revolutionary Road"
Oppenheimer and Poor Things were great, but the acting in Anatomy of a Fall was a masterclass in acting.
I like all of those, but I thought the best movie was The Society of the Snow.
Me too @@ericbedenbaugh7085
Yeah the more I think about it this should have won best picture
I agree about Anatomy of a Fall
I never thought, that Sandra did it, to begin with. But the prosecutor was clever and tried to some success to bend the story into a jealousy drama and Sandra getting rid of weakling in cold blood. But the real drama lies somewhere else anyway, IMHO: did Daniel in his testimony make up the story about his father speaking really about himself and not the dog or was that the truth?

That dog scene came out of no where too 😂😂😂
One of the best film I have seen in a very long time.
It was a great film! I really had to look up the French judicial system after watching it 😅

Thats what I say, actually snoops footsteps in opening credits, 2 crucial times during movie.
@@shimmer8289 true!
There is an entire video on dog

💯 she's masterful and sublime

She should have won!!!! 😭😭😭

I just don't believe a French jury would find a German not guilty.
Indeed.
Unlike many other countries, France and Germany have work hard since 1870, WW1 and WW2 wars to develop a close relationship and never repeat the horrors and mistakes of the past. They are close countries and shares many notions now, they don't always agree on what is good for Europe but they are very determined to always find a common ground.

Really? THAT's your takeaway from this amazingly acted, finely developed film???

I'm tempted to develop a cinema camera and then abandon it - it was never going to last - too many successful cameras, damn them!
All hail Caesar!
One of the best movies I saw in recent times.
Great surprise that it was even nominated for a statue.
Where can I find the movie in India ??
Any leads please ??!!!
It'd on amazon if u pay for prime membership otherwise I don't know. Hope u find it
Thanks for sharing this content. Could you please share your email so I can send you our proposal to collaboration?
One of the BEST movie I saw, ever. And I mean it!
Screenplay and acting were TOP!
Sandra didn't kill Samuel, but I sure would have. He used her like an emotional garbage can.
He resented her success and blamed her for all of his shortcomings. She encouraged him to write and he still couldn’t accept any responsibility for his own position. Saying that, I totally agree that she didn’t do it- she didn’t need to. She would have been okay on her own and I think she knew that. She would have left him before doing that.
The level of gender discrimination from female end is strong in this thread.
@@Salty0 this was our interpretation, but I’d love to hear your take on it. It’s good to discuss, especially in a movie as nuanced as this.
I think you should follow that Frame Voyager's guy, although he seems to struggle with French names 👀
😅😅😅 Like a true american
@@FrameVoyagerLOL

Helps when I have someone from France to help with this video!
