Anatomy Of A Fall: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Gripping, Oscar-winning French courtroom thriller and family drama
15
When husband and father Samuel falls to his death at a secluded chalet in the French Alps, the police assume murder - and their prime suspect is Samuel's wife, Sandra. What actually happened, though? Was it even murder? And what does their blind 11-year-old son have to say about it?
Anatomy Of A Fall is one of those films you'll want to know as little as possible about before seeing, so we'll leave out the description of the plot, but be prepared to be utterly gripped by this riveting mix of courtroom thriller and family drama. It boasts a particularly strong, justly Oscar-nominated performance by Sandra Hüller (also in the Oscar-nominated The Zone Of Interest) as the wife, but there's not really a weak point in this movie except, arguably, the two-and-a-half hour running time.
Hüller's nomination was one of five potential Oscars for the film, although it ultimately came away with only one win - for Best Original Screenplay. (152 minutes)

Melania Trump's 'orders' to Donald Trump prove how she really feels about him
Donald Trump and Melania Trump have been married for 17 years but the First Lady has shown how she really feels about her husband with these key interactions Donald Trump and Melania Trump have been the talk of town after jetting off to Rome for Pope Francis' funeral last Saturday — a day that coincidentally celebrated Melania's 55th birthday. The date also marks a significant milestone for President Trump as he lands on his 100th day in his current tenure (April 29), but it's the whispered moments at the funeral that have caught the public eye. Lip-reading experts have peeled back the layers on the First Lady's candid emotions towards her husband during this latest White House spell. Flashback to Inauguration Day: post-oath, the Trumps graced three inaugural galas amidst much fanfare. Yet, it was their somewhat stilted dance at the Liberty Ball that turned heads and stirred up whispers of "awkwardness." Jeremy Freeman, versed in the art of reading lips, has shed light on Melania's whispered encouragements to Trump during that dance. He interprets her saying: "Today is one we will never forget," met with Trump's nodded response: "You're right, I'll learn, I'll fight." With continued tenderness, Melania conveyed "I got you.", reports the Mirror US. To which Trump, hedging slightly, responded: "We'll see. Will you control it? Less tricky, less pushing away." Further intimations followed with Melania seemingly expressing "it's a no" and Trump responding with a perceptive "I hear you." While Melania's sentiments oozed sincerity, body language expert Mark Bowden weighed in on her apparent unease during the coupled dance, hinting at a certain rigidity, perhaps in response to bearing Trump's "weight." A body language expert said: "This shaky start leaves Trump leaning his full weight forward, while Melania manages to meet him cheek to cheek. With her wide-brimmed hat no longer serving as a barrier, the couple is closer than earlier in the day-though precariously close to the ear that once took a bullet." Another onlooker remarked on X: "Trump and Melania's Inaugural Ball first dance was something else-a stiff, awkward shuffle that looked more like a hostage situation than a celebration. The man who claimed he'd "Make America Great Again" couldn't even make a slow dance look convincing." Pope's funeral Despite perhaps not being entirely comfortable dancing in front of an international audience, Melania demonstrated grace when mingling with world leaders at the Pope's funeral. Lip reader Jeremy was again available to dissect any interactions. A revealing few seconds showed French President Emmanuel Macron whispering to Finland President Alexander Stubb. They then exchanged handshakes and smiles for the camera as Macron reportedly urged him to continue holding. As this unfolded, Melania, quietly observing the actions of world leaders around her, leaned in close to Trump to whisper three words of advice. She seemed to do so discreetly, possibly to avoid drawing attention, and Jeremy asserted she said: "Donald, look left." Trusting his wife's wise counsel, Trump promptly turned left, and engaged with leaders like the King of Spain, Felipe VI, saying "great to see you... great to see you". After receiving a gentle push from Melania, the President smoothly shifted into diplomatic mode, graciously offering his hand to both Stubb and Macron, saying: "Great to see you Alex, good to see you, how are you doing?" This subtle yet revealing incident sheds light on the perceptive Melania's function in helping her husband portray a more statesmanlike presence by remaining acutely aware of their environment. Lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling spotlighted an instance at the funeral that underscored Melania's crucial role within their dynamic. During the ceremony, as participants prepared for the Sign of Peace – a moment Prince William also observed – Trump appeared unsure, until his proactive spouse guided him. Melania whispered to him, which according to Nicola, was advice, commanding: "You should go and do it." With Trump seemingly unresponsive initially, she reiterated her instruction with more emphasis. The response from Trump suggested acquiescence: "Oh alright." Body language analyst Judi James reflected on Melania's surreptitious prompt, labelling it "rather sweet" and noted: "It took a rather sweet, smiling whisper from Melania to warn Trump that they were to participate in this ritual known as the 'Sign of Peace,' greeting others around them to register peace in the world." Trump engaged in a handshake with several attendees but singled out Macron for a history-making hand clasp. With Macron's smile sealed and a knowing gaze suggesting camaraderie, Trump's iconic political power-shake took centre stage as he drew Macron's arm towards himself in a deliberate sawing motion, leaving onlookers to interpret the depths of their relationship. Melania, with an impressive tally of 3.4 million followers on Instagram, expressed her gratitude this weekend saying: "Thank you for all the heartfelt birthday wishes. I had the honor of attending Pope Francis' funeral, on this day, where I prayed for the healing of those who are suffering and for peace in the world." A follower chimed in with adoration and respect: "Behind every good man is a great woman. You are quite the duo with a beautiful family. God Bless you and yours." Is Melania really smiling from the heart? Despite instances that suggest otherwise, some believe Melania's smiles during public appearances with Trump might mask her true feelings. Darren Stanton, a media psychological coach and body language expert, weighed in this past November, suspecting Melania's guarded nature. He highlighted her potentially forced expression, indicating her smiles could be manufactured for the occasion rather than genuine reflections of joy. Stanton specifically pointed out: "With Melania, there's still a reluctance from her. She smiles on stage but it appears to be a fake smile. She's smiling because she has to, rather than instinctual. "It was clear there was little mutual affection, with barely any signs of warmth or closeness between them. They maintained a distance, devoid of any overt displays of fondness." In her memoir, Melania, released last year, the former Slovenian model and mother recounts the story of her initial encounter with her future husband. "From the moment our conversation began, I was captivated by his charm and easygoing nature," she recalls. Towards the end of the book, Melania shares the harrowing experience of watching on television as her husband narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in Bedminster, New Jersey, during his campaign. She vividly describes the chaotic scene: "I watched the chaos unfold: the gunfire, Donald instinctively reaching up to his head, and the immediate response of Secret Service agents shielding him." Melania expresses her relief, calling it "nothing short of a miracle" that he survived the ordeal. She recounts the agonizing wait before she could speak to him again, saying: "[E]ach time we saw Donald's bloodied face, I had to remind myself that I had actually just spoken to him."
