‘Anatomy of a Fall’ and ‘Zone of Interest’ Star Sandra Hller Explores Shades of Darkness – TheWrap

This story about Sandra Hller first appeared in theRace Begins issueof TheWrap magazine.

Justine Triet has a word for Sandra Hller, her star in the dark family drama Anatomy of a Fall, which won the Palme dOr at this years Cannes Film Festival: ungraspable.

It is a word in English that I didnt know before yesterday, she said in early October. And now I want to use it all the time, forSandra.

The word certainly applies to Hllers character in Anatomy of a Fall, in which she plays a successful writer (also named Sandra) who is accused of murdering her husband. Triet never tips her hand to reveal whether Sandra is innocent or guilty, with Hller finding a way to suggest both alternatives at the same time as the thorny film swings between a portrait of a fracturing relationship and a charged courtroom drama.

But Anatomy isnt the only powerful project that Hller is in this year; its not even the only one that premiered in Cannes in May. The German actress is also one of the leads inJonathan Glazers The Zone of Interest, a dispassionate and chilling examination of a Nazi family that lives in a bucolic house just outside the gates of Auschwitz, where the father, Rudolph Hss, is in charge of the mass extermination of Jews. Hllers Hedwig Hss is a woman who loves her lifestyle and to all appearances doesnt give a thought to whats happening on the other side of that wall. Shes hard to understand, but more than that, impossible to find sympathetic.

The two films are a study in contrasts: Anatomy urgent, talky and in-your-face, with Hllers character pleading her case through much of the action; Zone all about distances, with the camera backing off from these awful people who want to live normal lives unshadowed by their monstrous deeds.You could say that both characters are ungraspable, and Hller would probably agree but when Triet used the word, she made it clear that she applied it not to Sandra the character but to Sandra the actress.

In conversation, theres something elusive about Hller. The 45-year-old, who was born inSuhl when it was part of East Germany, is friendly but a little hesitant; shes said that she admires actors who can spin anecdotes and charm interviewers, but theres also a sense that she doesnt do that partly because English isnt her first language (German is) but also because she chooses not to.

The first time TheWrap interviewed her, at a screening of Toni Erdmann in 2016, she was enjoying a breakthrough with that Oscar-nominated film after a career that had begun on the stage and then included a string of films that didnt get much exposure outside of Europe. At that Q&A, I brought up a story that director Maren Ade had told me about how, during rehearsals for the movies uproarious naked dinner party scene, Hller opened the door nude to give a late-arriving actor a start. At the screening, Hller said she didnt know what I was talking about, that it had never happened but when I saw her again a week later, she apologized profusely and said shed misunderstood me and the story was true. When I reminded her of our earlier encounter when we met for this story, she said she didnt remember that and wouldnt have answered the door naked, but maybe she did so in her underwear.

So who is Sandra Hller? Shes gifted, private and, yes, ungraspable but shes also made a big and bold mark on cinema in 2023, when she became the first actor ever to star in Cannes Palme dOr winner (Anatomy of a Fall) and its Grand Prix winner (The Zone of Interest). She speaks three languages in those two films English and French in Anatomy and German in Zone and she also appeared at this years Berlin Film Festival as one of the stars of Sisi & I, a historical black comedy in which Hller plays 19th-century countess Irma Sztray, who became a handmaiden to Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Susanne Wolff), also known as Sisi. (The 2022 film Corsage, shot at the same time, was another revisionist and feminist film about that monarch.)

It is what it is, she said matter-of-factly of having Anatomy and Zone simultaneously stirring up awards buzz. Its a great blessing that they are both running at the same time and that I can find out so many more things about my work and what people think about it. To me, it feels like a gift.

Like many other things these days, you can thank the COVID-19 pandemic for the Hller logjam this awards season. The Zone of Interest was originally scheduled to shoot in 2020 but was delayed to 2021 because of the pandemic, giving her only six weeks off before she began shooting Sisi & Me. When that film ended, she had about three months before Anatomy of a Fall began production, though she was also taking lessons to improve her French before that film.

I like to have a lot of free time between works, she said. I like the time to settle and to reconnect with the life Im living, because shooting can be very intense. Theres a whole thing that goes on with the body hormone-wise when youre working adrenaline and dopamine and all these things that you cant live with every day or youd go crazy. I need some time to get it out of my body. A shrug. But sometimes, you cant do that.

The Holocaust movie, oddly, was both the most difficult one to do and the one that took the least out of her. I didnt feel like getting into character while working on The Zone of Interest, she said. I usually tend to be more empathetic with the characters to love them more, to give them more of my fantasies and more of myself. With Hedwig, it felt wrong to give her anything from me. So I was just watching her and doing what Jonathan told me.

She was encouraged by the way Glazer shot the film, with cameras set up in the corner of rooms in the house where the Hss family lived, and with the film crew watching from the basement rather than sharing the rooms with the actors. Jonathan just wanted to show the life of the people with death next to them, caused by them, she said. He didnt want to have any heroism, or to have actors wondering which side would be the best to show, and wheres the light and wheres my mark and all this technical stuff. The topic is so much bigger than these technical questions.

She shook her head. I would never have done the movie if it had been a biopic about the Hsses. I never wanted to be part of this world.

And even though the story is being told by a British director, Hller felt compelled to be careful with the material because of her nationality. Doing this as a German, with my ancestors being responsible for all this, is something that I cannot deny, she said. The people in my country have the responsibility to keep talking about this, even if some of them deny it. The responsibility not to make it be forgotten and not to let it happen again.

This was something that happened to the world where time really stopped. It changed the world completely. We were wondering so many times what the world would be like now if this hadnt happened. And we cant even imagine it. It had such a big impact that you cannot treat it like every other movie, and I cannot treat the character like every other character.

After finishing work on Zone, Hller used the Sisi & I shoot to wash Hedwig out of her system. Irma is the complete opposite of Hedwig, she said. Shes a very childlike, non-judgmental, kind person. I was thinking about that when I accepted both roles, that Irma would come after Hedwig and wipe her out.

Shifting to Anatomy of a Fall after Sisi, she said, was more a case of getting back to her usual way of working. Triet had written the script (with Arthur Harari) with Hller in mind for the character of the woman who always leaves us questioning her motives and actions. I was obsessed by her, the writer-director said. I dont always know if its the best to write for an actress, but she was very (much) in our mind during the writing. Just thinking about Sandra helped us create a more realistic character.

In one way, the films biggest complication for Hller was the language: The character speaks English to her husband and son, but shes required to speak French, in which the actress is less fluent, in the courtroom. The question that dominates the film is set up in the first few scenes, when Sandras husband, Samuel (Samuel Theis), either falls, jumps or is pushed to his death from the top floor of the couples French mountain chalet. We gradually learn that Sandra has lied about certain aspects of their relationship, but we never know whether she killed him. And Hller never knew, either.

I was captivated when (Justine) sent me the script, she said. Id never read anything like this about the division of power between modern couples, and I wanted to find out if she did it. I really wanted Justines thoughts on this, but she never did tell me. But we found out quickly that it doesnt really matter. Its more about what we think of the character and about our own limits and moral boundaries. Can we deal with a woman who doesnt feel shame? It was not if she did it or not, it was the way she was treated as a human being in this trial.

On the other hand, having an answer would have given Hller a clearer idea of how to play Sandra, right? Yeah, she said. It wouldve made it so much easier for me. But I can defend this character no matter what she had or hadnt done. In the end, she gave Triet different takes to fit whatever interpretation the director wanted. And more recently, Hller even got a promise from the director: She told me two days ago that she will tell me if Sandra did it in 10 years. But not before.

By that point, Hller may well be better known in the United States: With the one-two punch of Anatomy and Zone, which are being released in the U.S. by Neon and A24, respectively, it makes sense that she may be getting interest from Hollywood. On the other hand, that shouldhave happened seven years ago after Toni Erdmann, but she said it didnt.

I dont have a crystal ball, so I really dont know if they are interested in me now, she said. Also, I dont know what kind of direction that would go. I can do some things, but there are some things I certainly cannot do like superhero stuff, I just couldnt. I would probably burst out laughing all the time.

But after emerging from the COVID shutdown with a blast of three movies and lots of Oscar buzz, does she have a sense of where she wants to go next? Have her priorities changed? Theyve changed because time has passed and Im a bit older, she said. When I was a teenager, I never had any special interests, hobbies or sports. And then my English and German teacher opened a drama club in my school when I was 14 or 15 and it was so much fun more fun than I had ever found in doing anything else. Now, COVID has shown me how fragile the system is and how fast things can just go away or be postponed. It showed me how precious it is to be able to do this.

Im curious what comes from this. But Im really, really happy that I have this experience and even if nothing happens, I cannot be disappointed. I would just go on living my life.

What your favorite ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ character says about you – The Post

With the ending of both the writers strike and the actors strike, production of season 20 of the hit medical drama Greys Anatomy is officially allowed to begin. The show has seen many characters come and go during its historic television run, so here is what your favorite character says about you:

Meredith Grey

The world revolves around you, whether this is a good thing or not. You probably have deep family trauma that affects every relationship you try to pursue. Despite all of that, you are the center of your loved ones world and you have managed to rise above all that you have been through.

Cristina Yang

You are bold, loud and fearless. You have never let anything stand in your way. You know your worth and do not settle for anything less than. You are probably in pursuit of some challenge, and you will stop at nothing until you have achieved everything you ever wanted.

Lexie Grey

You are a rule-follower down to your core. You have never skipped class, never taken a random day off work and you deeply feel this has paid off in some way. You have a bright energy that draws people in, although they may become jealous of your talent and work ethic.

Derek Shepherd

Just like your favorite character, you are a hotshot in whatever career, degree or life path you are embarking on. You ooze confidence, sometimes to the point of arrogance, and demand attention whenever you enter the room.

Amelia Shepherd

People are awed by your seemingly natural talent, but deep down you are constantly wondering if you are good enough. You are extremely resilient and can bounce back from everything. You are probably in a competitive field and often feel overshadowed by your peers despite the outstanding work you are doing. You joke your way through every uncomfortable or tough situation in your life and are often mistaken for a comedian because of this.

Owen Hunt

You do not take no for an answer. You think everyone should follow what you do and say exactly as you say and do it. You have probably been in or are working toward a big management or leadership position and you make this your entire personality.

Miranda Bailey

You have worked extremely hard to get to where you are, and despite all the odds, you made it. You have natural leadership traits, and while this sometimes gets mistaken as you being bossy, those traits are vital to your success. You can command the attention of an entire room with just the sound of your voice. You are also an extremely good person with good intentions and you fight hard for those around you.

Alex Karev

Life has not been kind to you. For a while, this defined you and held you back, but now you have moved past all the hardships and have gotten yourself to a much better place in your life. You care deeply about the people in your life, and deep down you are scared they may leave. You have made many mistakes but have learned something important from each one.

George OMalley

You have always been seen as the underdog. You mistake people making fun of you for jokes and compliments and are somehow unaware of the cruelties of the world. You try so hard to be perfect and while you are far from it, you always keep trying to better yourself and your skills. You are a good samaritan and are always trying to do something good. You probably rescue every stray cat you see.

Izzie Stevens

You always give people the benefit of the doubt. You are sometimes a pushover and have the tendency to let people walk all over you. You try so hard but are never fully where you want to be. You are a kind and genuine person at heart, but get caught up in circumstances that tend to paint you in a bad light.

Dr. Mark Sloan

You have some big faults and may come across as a bad person on the outside, but on the inside, you are sensitive and loving. You did not have much of a family growing up, so now that you are older, you have built a family of your own through friends you would do anything for. You are an extremely passionate person and you take your work seriously. You are confident on the outside but on the inside, you struggle with your self-worth.

April Kepner

You know your values and morals and never stray away from them. You place family above everything else and are a deeply empathetic person. You long to help people and sometimes find yourself giving unsolicited advice because of this. You know what you stand for and your opinions are not easily changed. You are loving almost to a fault and give way too many second chances.

Arizona Robbins

You are sunshine in human form. You are upbeat and can find the good in the worst situations. People know not to mistake your kindness for ignorance though. You are not afraid to put people in their place, even if you have confrontation issues.

Callie Torres

You have had many personal ups and downs and are always trying to get back to what makes you happy, whatever that may be. You are constantly in search of something greater and a bigger purpose in life. You are a fun person to be around and are always down for a good time.

Chris Wolston’s ‘Nalgona’ merges human anatomy with the … – STIRpad

Humour and liveliness are inherent to my practice. Humour serves as a conduit for generating dialogue with the material, states American artist and designer Chris Wolston. He designs an intriguing collection of wicker chairs that serve as a tangible embodiment of his ideology. The product designer has created a seating collection dubbed Nalgona in his Medelln studio in Colombia. The materiality and craftsmanship of the chairs pay tribute to the abundant tradition of mimbre, or wicker, and the rich cultural tapestry that defines South America's artistic landscape. This collection is the creative union of ergonomics and anatomy. Wolston creates a combination that skillfully combines the practical form of a chair with the elegant curves of a human body. Every chair design has its own version of 'arms' and 'legs' that strike a dynamic stances that conjure a vibrant feeling of life and movement.

Using traditional weaving methods, Colombian mimbre is used to produce the Nalgona collection. Amid the verdant vistas of the Colombian Amazon, the furniture designer sets out to find the best wicker, carefully chosen to capture the spirit of this unique area. Forming a collaboration with local Medelln weavers, this creative voyage materialises as a cultural tapestry woven into every chair. Wolston starts the process in his studio by sculpting rough clay chair forms. He then draws up the final design in blueprint form and welds a frame to weave the wicker into. After which, skilled weavers with decades of experience gradually bring each body part to life, row after row, detail by detail. I am grateful for the experienced team I work with locally and that I am able to work with such a unique material, shares Wolston. The outcome of this collection is intricate, appealing, and innovative pieces that bring a sense of humour and allow the user to stop taking themselves so seriously.

The goal of the Nalgona collection is to provide the creative domain of movement and physicality with a tangible language. Wolston, who is inspired by the rich craftsmanship history of the region, creates these chairs as works of art, rather than furniture. He combines the functionality of furniture design with a sense of fun and playfulness resulting in designs that are unique, extraordinarily humane, and intriguing. The Nalgona Chairs--a series of wicker seats--emerged from this dialogue as sybaritic totems of mortal form and craftsmanship, explains Wolston. The chairs are a body of work that is a juxtaposition of soft and strong while maintaining a technical sophistication. Wolston's sculptural chairs are living illustrations of a harmonic synthesis between nature, craftsmanship, and design, all artfully woven together inside the delicate waltz of limbs and materials.

First-graders are studying human anatomy and tested in a new hands-on approach – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

L.L. Bean has just added a third shift at its factory in Brunswick, Maine, in an attempt to keep up with demand for its iconic boot.

Orders have quadrupled in the past few years as the boots have become more popular among a younger, more urban crowd.

The company says it saw the trend coming and tried to prepare, but orders outpaced projections. They expect to sell 450,000 pairs of boots in 2014.

People hoping to have the boots in time for Christmas are likely going to be disappointed. The bootsare back ordered through February and even March.

"I've been told it's a good problem to have but I"m disappointed that customers not getting what they want as quickly as they want," said Senior Manufacturing Manager Royce Haines.

Customers like, Mary Clifford, tried to order boots on line, but they were back ordered until January.

"I was very surprised this is what they are known for and at Christmas time you can't get them when you need them," said Clifford.

People who do have boots are trying to capitalize on the shortage and are selling them on Ebay at a much higher cost.

L.L. Bean says it has hired dozens of new boot makers, but it takes up to six months to train someone to make a boot.

The company has also spent a million dollars on new equipment to try and keep pace with demand.

Some customers are having luck at the retail stores. They have a separate inventory, and while sizes are limited, those stores have boots on the shelves.

9 Bingeable Shows That Aren’t Grey’s Anatomy – Her Campus

The opinions expressed in this article are the writers own and do not reflect the views of Her Campus.

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wilfrid Laurier chapter.

Every year around this time, as the weather gets colder, I create a list of shows I either need to watch or rewatch. Most of my free time during the colder months is spent indoors, wrapped in a blanket, usually with a glass of wine, binge-watching whatever show piques my interest.

Unfortunately, as much as Ive tried, Greys Anatomy has never been one of those shows. Of the many lists Ive read trying to find a new series to watch, Greys Anatomy is usually somewhere at the top. I have nothing against the show; Im personally just uninterested in the ongoing 20-season series. So, here is a list of shows Ive specifically selected to (hopefully) help you find your next show to binge.

Criminal Minds

Of course, at the top of my list is my all-time favourite show, Criminal Minds. If you need a long (like 16 seasons), twisted-yet-wholesome show with a group of lovable characters, this has to be your next watch. Criminal Minds follows a group of FBI agents in the Behavioural Analysis Unit that use their profiling skills to track and take down criminals, or Unsubs, across America.

Each group member has their own story, and you really need to stick around if you want to learn all their backstories, but I can promise its worth it. While it can be a bit repetitive at times, youll barely notice once you get to know the characters. However, if you dont do well with blood and talk of some sensitive topics, this may not be for you. You can watch Criminal Minds in Canada on Disney+.

Bridgerton & Queen Charlotte

There is no way that you havent heard of Bridgerton since it came out in 2020. Based on a book series written by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton follows the Bridgerton family during the Regency era in England as each child of the family falls in love. Its a show filled with drama and romance, and honestly, its a bit frustrating at times, but if you need a royal-core show with happy endings, then this is your sign to watch Bridgerton. While youre at it, definitely watch the spin-off and tie-in series, Queen Charlotte. Within the Bridgeton world, Queen Charlotte is by far my favourite season. It focuses on Queen Charlotte and King George, who are loosely based on the real-life royals in the 1700s and their love story. Its heart-warming but also painful to watch as they marry and slowly fall for each other. By the end of the season, I was absolutely bawling my eyes out. If you need a good, heartfelt cry, try Queen Charlotte. You can watch both on Netflix.

The Fosters & Good Trouble

Im currently in the midst of rewatching The Fosters and I am just as invested as I was the first time I watched it. It follows the life of the Adam-Fosters, a family consisting of two moms, one biological son, a set of adopted twins and the two foster kids whom the family is fighting to adopt. Through the ups and downs of this family, its touching to watch the unconditional love they have for each other. Following the end of The Fosters is a spin-off series called Good Trouble, which follows the two daughters of the family after theyve finished school and begin their adult life together. Callie, an aspiring lawyer, and Mariana, a tech genius, move to Los Angeles and try to navigate the confusing maze of adulthood. Its definitely a must-watch if you need something a bit more wholesome! You can find The Fosters and Good Trouble on Disney+.

How I Met Your Mother

Personally, I dont watch many sitcoms, but How I Met Your Mother holds a very special place in my heart because I used to watch this show every Monday with my dad as it came out. Apart from my emotional connection with the show, its definitely one of the funniest and easiest shows Ive ever watched. Centred around a group of friends consisting of a single architect, an aspiring news anchor, an energetic playboy and a cheesy couple, the show follows their crazy adventures throughout New York. Its lighthearted and the perfect show for a good laugh, and the short episodes in this nine-season-long series make it incredibly easy to watch. BUT please, please watch the alternative ending when you get to the end of the series. You can watch this show on Disney+.

Chicago Med

If you need an alternative to Greys Anatomy, Chicago Med is a bit more fast-paced. As a part of the expansive Chicago franchise, it weaves medical drama with the intricate workings of the fire and police departments, providing an interconnected view of emergency services in the city. Ive yet to finish this series, but honestly, its quite addictive. Its a series that grabs your attention and refuses to let go, making it perfect for a binge-watching session. I definitely recommend checking this one out if you need your fix of medical dramas. You can find this series on Prime Video.

The Alienist

This series is an American period crime drama based on a 1994 novel by Caleb Carr. It takes place in 1896 in New York City; an alienist, someone who studies mental pathologies and the deviant behaviours of those who are alienated from society, investigates gruesome murders that seem to have a connection. Its twisted and dark and incredibly easy to get addicted to. Its a shorter series that I personally watched in one weekend. The shows atmospheric storytelling and intense pacing make it a gripping experience, leaving you on the edge of your seat and yearning for more after each episode. You can find The Alienist on Netflix.

Avatar: The Last Airbender & The Legend of Korra

A childhood classic, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a Nickelodeon cartoon that takes place in the fantastical world of fire, water, air and earth benders. It follows a young boy who just woke up from being frozen in ice after a hundred-year war, who finds out he is the Avatar, a person who is meant to learn all four elements to save the world. Along with some friends, he travels throughout the different nations to learn the elements in a years time to eventually fight and overthrow the Fire Lord, a tyrannical king who aims to expand his fire nation across the world.

As cute and lighthearted as it is, it has some very emotionally gripping episodes that I wont deny shedding a tear to. As every Avatar passes, another is born, and with that was born the second series, The Legend of Korra. Its a completely different vibe from the original series but just as compelling as it goes through the last Avatars predecessors life and her struggles to meet the expectations of being the Avatar. Definitely watch this series before the live-action Netflix adaptation comes out in 2024. You can watch Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Anne with an E

As a Canadian, there are many stories that are familiar to our country. If you know anything about the small province of Prince Edward Island, youve probably heard of the story of Anne of Green Gables. This Canadian series is an adaptation of the fictional book by Lucy M. Montgomery that follows a young, orphaned girl with bright red hair who gets adopted by a brother-sister duo to help with their work on the farm. Being so different from everyone else in the town of Avonlea, Anne struggles with trying to fit in while also staying true to herself. The three-season-long series goes through her life as she grows up and discovers her passions and wants for the future. Its a family-friendly, incredibly wholesome experience to watch. Youll fall in love with all the characters as they develop, and by the end of it, Im sure youll be asking for the next season. You can watch Anne with an E on Netflix.

Riverdale & The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Last but certainly not least (well, maybe its a bit debatable), it is one of my favourite shows to cringe at Riverdale. Riverdale, at least the first couple of seasons, tries to stay true to the original Archie comics. Following Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead, along with some other iconic characters like Cheryl Blossom and Kevin Keller, the first season focuses on the murder mystery of Cheryls twin, Jason Blossom. Other storylines within the series include Archie falling in love with his teacher, Betty becoming an FBI agent, and everyone magically gaining different superpowers, but Ill let you figure out how that all happens yourself. This is truly a series that you shouldnt take too seriously, especially past season two. The best way to watch this, in my opinion, is to pour yourself a glass of wine, alone or with friends, and let yourself cringe through the events of this series. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a (sort-of) tie-in series that follows the teenage witch Sabrina Spellman and her adventures in living both a normal, human girls life and a young witchs life. This series is centred around magic and the fantastical, so its a bit easier to understand its weirdness compared to its counterpart.

I hope this list brings as much joy and entertainment to you as it has for me and helps you get through these coming winter months!

Much love, Evelyn<3

‘Anatomy Of A Fall’, ‘Poor Things’, ‘Omen’ & ‘Return To Seoul’ Talents … – Yahoo Entertainment

Frances Csar Academy has unveiled its annual Revelations list showcasing 32 emerging acting talents making their mark in the French-speaking cinema world.

The 16 selected actresses include Suzy Bemba for her performance year in Catherine Corsinis Homecoming. Bemba was also seen in Venice Golden Lion winner Poor Things this year.

More from Deadline

The selection also features Rebecca Marder for Corsica-set thriller Grand Expectations; Garance Marillier, for bio-pic Marinette about French female soccer pioneer Marinette Pichon, and Park Ji-min for her award-winning performance in Return To Seoul.

The actor list includes Milo Machado Graner, who plays the visually impaired son in Justine Triets Anatomy of a Fall, Marc Zingas for his performance in Belgiums Oscar entry Omen and Samuel Kircher for Catherine Breillats taboo-breaking drama Last Summer. His brother Paul Kircher is also in the selection for The Animal Kingdom.

The talents were selected by a committee of 18 French casting directors overseen by non-voting chairs, David Bertrand, who has cast many of the films of Franois Ozon, and Nathalie Chron, whose recent credits include The Hunting and Hamilton.

Last years edition of Revelations was mired in controversy after news broke that one of its chosen talents Sofiane Bennacer had been indicted on allegations of rape and violence by four women.

The incident prompted the Csar Academy to introduce new protocols excluding nominees being investigated for sexual assault from its annual ceremony.

Run in partnership with fashion house Chanel, the Revelations initiative involves a photo shoot and production of a promotional film, which will be unveiled at its annual gala evening on January 15, 2024.

The participants attend the red-carpet event in the company of an established acting or directing star of their choice.
