Career

Triet is a graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris.[1]

Her directorial debut feature film, Age of Panic, was presented as part of the ACID programme at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival,[4][5] and was ranked number 10 on Cahiers du Cinéma's Top 10 List in 2013.[6]

In 2016, she wrote and directed the romantic comedy-drama In Bed with Victoria,[3] which was nominated for the César Awards for Best Film and Best Original Screenplay.[7]

In 2019, her comedy-drama film Sibyl premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or.[8]

In 2023, her courtroom thriller Anatomy of a Fall was presented at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival,[9] where it won the Palme d'Or, making Triet the third female director to win the award.[10]

Personal life

Triet is in a relationship with French filmmaker Arthur Harari,[2] with whom she has two children.[11] The couple frequently works together.[2]

Triet is a member of the French gender equality group Collectif 50/50.[12][13]

While receiving her Palme d'Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Triet declared her support for the pension reform protest movement and opposed to President Emmanuel Macron's repression of it. She accused the "neo-liberal government" of fostering cultural commercialization and weakening France's cultural exceptionalism.[14] Triet dedicated her prize to new directors and those facing challenges in the film industry, urging greater chances and support for rising talent. Her remarks linked to debates that took place in France in October 2022 at the Appel aux Etats Generaux (Call for General Assemblies), an exhibition conference,[15] during which some industry insiders blamed French "auteur" filmmaking for dwindling box office and urged for a reduction in French film output.[16] Triet's speech was criticized by Macron's party, right-wing activists and politicians, and by French culture minister Rima Abdul Malak, who said she was "flabbergasted by such unfair comments."[17] Triet's speech received support from left-wing politicians and the SRF, the French directors's guild.[18][15]
