In this episode Yannick Champion-Osselin & Manon Kerjean interview Sionann O’Neill & Joan Lagache, the two translators for ‘Anatomy of a Fall.’ The thriller that was lauded internationally for its use of linguistics as a plot device.
‘Anatomy of a Fall‘ follows Sandra, a German writer, her French husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he committed suicide or was killed, and Sandra becomes the main suspect.
Little by little the trial becomes not just an investigation of the circumstances of Samuel’s death, but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel’s conflicted relationship.
The film received the Palme d’or in Cannes last year, a Bafta, Golden Globes, one oscar, and six César, among other prizes.
Produced by ARBL Murray for World Radio Paris, and recorded remotely from Cannes and Paris.
