Its so beautiful and it means a lot, of course.
It means that when a movie touches somebody.
It can overcome everything, so its a really beautiful story forAnatomy of aFall.
Its totally crazy for me now.
I dont realize it now.
I think maybe tonight, but now Im like, shocked.
Triet admitted that she cried when she saw her editor Laurent Senechals name cited on the Best Editing list.
We did a lot of work, and I was very moved to watch his name.
Which isnt to say that the moment of surprise wasnt there, the filmmaker said.
Its believed that Frances cultural establishment turned against Triet after she criticized President Macron duringher acceptance speech at Cannes.
Asked if she had any comment to make about Mr. Macron, she chuckled and said, No comment.
Does she hope to hear from him, though?
No, Im going to enjoy this with my friends and with my family, Triet said.
Im sure that there will be some kind of reaction as due protocol, but Im not expecting anything.
During the conversation Triet sipped from a bottle of water.
Will she celebrate with something stronger later on, perhaps?
Yes ,I think probably we are going to drink a lot of champagne.
Maybe in a few hours I could start to drink something more stronger than water.
Whats next for her?
I have a few projects, but its impossible to give an answer now.
I think after March I will start to do it.
Triets moviesecured seven BAFTA nominationslast week, including Best Director and Best Film.
