‘Anatomy of a Fall’ Director Justine Triet on Her Forensic Approach to Filmmaking: ‘What’s Important Is What Lies Underneath’

Justine Triet, who is best-known for Oscar and Palme d’Or-winning courtroom drama “Anatomy of a Fall,” says she could have become a lawyer, if she had not veered into filmmaking to dissect reality using a somewhat forensic approach.
