Pierre Lescure is an effective confessor, at work every Sunday on the show “Beau Geste”.
This time he questions
Justine Triet
in the Parisian church of Saint-Eustache.
A place suggested by this
“daughter of Buddhists”
not indifferent to the beauty of religious buildings.
The director is barely taking a breather after her Oscar campaign in the United States, where we swoon over the very realistic neuroses of
Anatomy of a Fall
, co-written by Triet with her companion Arthur Harari.
The feature film is in the running in five categories, including best film.
As for the French, they will decide whether or not to reward him on February 23 during the César ceremony.

TV tonight: our selection of the day
Pierre Lescure
, who swears he has already seen the film three times, recalls the trophies already won: two Golden Globes, prizes in Spain, Belgium and the United Kingdom, and of course the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
He worries: it's too much for just one piece of furniture!
For now, Justine Triet confides to him, the statuettes are lazing on the upright piano or in the bathroom.
And the palme d'or is sometimes found in his daughter's toy box...
The former boss of Canal + comes back to the Cannes episode.
And the director rewinds:
“I have a huge problem with finishing things in life, whether it's a love story or films, I often need an ax.
For
Anatomy of a Fall
, it was the presentation at Cannes.”
She also needed the festival for another reason:
“I told myself that it required quite a strong exposure, because it is dark, with a cast of lesser-known actors.”
The jury chaired by Ruben Östlund was won over.
“
Luckily,
Anatomy of a Fall
is not so much autobiographical as that!

Justine Triet
In her mind, this admirer of John Cassavetes was not going to be a winner.
“I kept
telling the financial partners, the producers, that the film would be long, more radical than the previous ones,”
she remembers .
I told them that I would perhaps do a series afterwards to earn money..."
What she will ultimately do afterwards, she cannot reveal.
She simply confides that she harbors a certain apprehension:
“The aftermath scares me.
Manage to remake a film with this pressure.”
Spectators confide
Justine Triet's life has changed.
She tells it candidly, detailing her feelings after her Oscar nomination.
Or when she met actress Jodie Foster, whom she asked about her childhood –
“I almost turned into a psychologist”
.
The spectators encountered over the past year have also opened their hearts to him.
They were sensitive to this anatomy of a struggle between spouses.
“As if they were disturbed by the intimacy that the film evokes, people say to me: I have the impression that you put cameras in my house.”
We then understand that they take refuge in cinemas.
“It’s interesting that a couple writes about a couple in crisis
,” slips Lescure.
“Perhaps so as not to experience this together!
I believe that we can thus exorcise situations that we do not want to experience.
But fortunately for us,
Anatomy of a Fall
is not that much autobiographical, I didn't have the impulse to push Arthur out of the window
,” says Triet, laughing.
The feature film will therefore have had a cathartic effect on the public - undoubtedly the explanation for its success - as well as on the authors, who now know that they are not trying to murder each other... Soon a romantic comedy?
