The Palme d’Or is nominated for the most prestigious American cinema award on March 10. And this even though it had not been selected by the cinema community to represent France in the best foreign film category. “The Passion of Dodin Bouffant” was not selected.

Best film, best original screenplay (Justine Triet and Arthur Harari), best direction (Justine Triet), best actress (Sandra Hüller), best editing (Laurent Sénéchal). The nominations for the Oscars rained down this Tuesday, January 23 for the French film Anatomy of a Fall, Palme d’Or 2023. A particularly chauvinistic suspense has, however, surrounded for weeks the announcement of the nominations for the prestigious American awards. In question, the choice by the French selection committee not to present Anatomy of a Fall by Justine Triet in the Oscar category for best foreign film but the Passion of Dodin Bouffant by Tran Anh Hùng, and this at the end of a vote of an ad hoc commission of seven people in September which came as a surprise.

With the winning of the golden globes for best screenplay and best foreign language film at the beginning of January, the team around filmmaker Justine Triet could legitimately consider itself in a good position to access the general categories, competing against the behemoths Barbie, Oppenheimer , Poor Creatures, etc. The filmmaker and her actress, Sandra Hüller, have scoured interviews and all possible meetings to exist in the media and socially in the US biotope in order to put all the chances on their side. The results proved them right.
