The FrenchโฆIโm telling you!
Why canโt they make satisfying ends to psychological dramas in film?
Thatโs the most frustrating part because besides the end, โAnatomy of a Fallโ is a top notch legal thriller, one where youโll be hopelessly absorbed into the story to the point of borderline claustrophobia, one where the acting will floor you. Heck, even the dog played well.
This is a psychological and dramatic โwhodunnitโ and after all that crescendo, all the build up, all the emotion and all the tickling of oneโs curiosity, the director came up with the most disappointing and asinine ending.
This is the equivalent of great sex, including subtle attraction, wining and dining, gentle holding of hands, then sensual foreplay followed by the most extraordinary and intense sexual encounter youโve ever experienced only toโฆ..NOT ORGASM!
Itโs the French exception I suppose. At least โAnatomy of a Fallโ won the Palme dโOr in Cannes last year whereas the woke Oscar academy will probably think itโs not woke enough coz the main actor and the dog are too white or something.
