writing life, a gain

---

For some persons, life becomes text: aural, visual, written.

So it went in the fabulous film, “Anatomy of a Fall” (2023) which is so French in concept: exhibiting a certified copy of an era of a marriage brought into cohering sense through “documentational” art.

The author overcame tragedy through finding narrative enclosure whose deeper, farther, higher implicature remains a mystery for listeners, viewers, readers to prospect: How love of one’s artistic partner betrayed itself.

So, an era of the surviving writer’s life is brought to closure through writing which is later made into that film about a tragic era coming into closure through coincidently aural documentation, writing which accomplishes the art which its fallen “author” could’t find; and does so in terms of that fallen author’s self-undermining imagination, the fallen’s self-concealing character.

Turning tragedy into art belongs to those who do.

Don’t be jealous of her.

(She gains peace of mind, the chalet, her beloved attorney, revenge for what her husband caused happening to their son, and royalties from both her novel version of her performance and the movie.)
