Justine Triet's masterful, Oscar-winning courtroom thriller suggests that the closer we look, the less we know, probing the border where truth turns into fiction and fiction into truth. When writer Sandra Voyter, who builds her fiction from the material of her own life, is tried for the suspicious death of her husband — a fatal fall from their chalet that may have been murder or suicide — the proceedings open up an inquiry that turns a troubled home inside out. With the minimalist intensity of a chamber drama and intricate, elliptical editing, Triet builds a mystery that is finally less about a death than about the hidden lives we lead.
