Justine Triet

“The more fiction I direct, the more I like the ‘trickery’. I realise that it probably allows me to unveil more precise and deeper things than the fake and stolen ‘reality’. But it took me some time to come to that decision. That being said, I will never direct like someone who never made documentaries before, which means that I have certain instincts when directing.”

    In Justine Triet’s Sibyl—starring Gaspard Ulliel, Virginie Efira and Sandra Hüller—chaos equates to delight and the ethically wrong is exhilarating.

    While the American tradition of the romantic comedy has waned in recent years, Justine Triet’s portrait of a woman at a crossroads in the courtroom and bedroom proves the beloved genre is alive and well in France. A feminist revision of the romcom—proving the familiar can still be unpredictable.
