“Anatomy of a Fall” is a penetrating study of a successful writer, Sandra Voyter (Sandra Hüller, from “Toni Erdmann”) on trial for her husband Samuel Maleski’s (Samuel Theis) murder — because an inconclusive autopsy suggests his death does not rule out third party involvement.
Did Samuel fall out a high window? Did he jump? Or was he pushed? Sandra claims she is innocent, despite evidence that she had motive, means and opportunity. The sole witness to the crime — if, indeed, it was a crime — is Daniel (Milo Machado Graner), the couple’s 11-year-old son, who is blind.
