\nEarlier, French legal drama ‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ won the Original Screenplay gong and co-writer and director Triet, collected the award.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “The last time I was in London, a woman said to me: ‘After I saw your movie I called my ex and told him to see it to understand why I dumped him’. Someone else said ‘Did you put a mic in my kitchen?'”<\/p>\n

\nPointing to her co-writer and partner Arthur Harari, she added: “I would like to make a statement tonight: it’s a fiction and we are reasonably fine.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
