Abstract :The film Anatomy of a Fall offers a profound feminist analysis of gender roles, dynamics within marital relationships, and power relations. Focusing on the experiences of the female protagonist, Sandra, the film critically examines gender representations and the power structures they reflect. Through a feminist lens, it opens a discussion on gender relations and societal norms while also shedding light on gender discrimination within the framework of discourse analysis. Sandra is portrayed in a manner that differs from the traditional female figure, challenging entrenched gender stereotypes. The film delves deeply into her internal struggles and interactions with the outside world, using her personal experiences as a lens to offer broader social critique. Discourse analysis of the roles played by other characters in Sandra’s life further reveals how societal gender norms are reproduced and sustained. This study aims to analyze female representation and power dynamics in Anatomy of a Fall within the context of feminist critique and gender politics. In doing so, it seeks to contribute to contemporary feminist debates by offering a broader perspective on how societal gender norms are shaped and maintained.
