It’s also possible he fell out of an open window…or that he took his own life.
“[With] Sandra andAnatomy of a Fall, I feel very much closer to her.
The work onZone of Interest, on one level it was more of a technical one…. “I knew that [Triet] was very sure that I was capable of doing this work.

I think it’s more my way of approaching work that she felt was maybe right.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: At the center of this film is a death Sandra’s husband dies.

Did she kill him?

Well, I wouldn’t say it complicated it.
So this kind of working fits really close to me and I enjoy it very much.

I asked Justine several times and she didn’t answer the question for reasons.

People ask me all the time, ‘What kind of stories do you want to tell, Viola?’

So here’s to August Wilson who exhumed and exalted the ordinary people.”
A well-deserved win, no doubt.
