For this Friday Movie Night, we’re continuing our run through this year’s Oscar nominees with the French legal thriller/mystery Anatomy of a Fall (2023), one of the best-reviewed movies of last year. It is by far the most popular and best-reviewed work of director Justine Triet to date. What happens when a lady is accused of murdering her husband, and the only characters who can possibly acquit her are her blind son and a dog? I guess we’ll find out. This is currently one of the highest-rated French films on Letterboxd. After that, since Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) was a hit last week, we’ll watch Boy (2010), another satirical comedy from renowned auteur Taika Waititi. A boy living on a New Zealand farm in the 80s with his pet goat has a rude awakening when his dad drops by and is nothing like he had imagined. They go on a hunt for a bag of buried money. Excellent reviews everywhere for this one, so let’s give it a whirl.

We’ll start at 9PM EST on Hextube, right here:
