The unnerving first trailer for Anatomy of a Fall from director Justine Triet has landed, and it's so bleak that YouTube has put an age warning and a sensitivity warning before you can even watch it.

Winning the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival, the film stars Sandra Hüller, Swann Arlaud, Milo Machado Graner, Antoine Reinartz, Samuel Theis, Jehnny Beth, Saadia Bentaïeb, Camille Rutherford, Anne Rotger and Sophie Fillières.

For the past year, Sandra, her husband Samuel, and their eleven-year-old son Daniel have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he was murdered or committed suicide. Samuel's suspicious death is presumed murder, and Sandra becomes the main suspect. What follows is not just an investigation into the circumstances of Samuel's death but an unsettling psychological journey into the depths of Sandra and Samuel's conflicted relationship.

Anatomy of a Fall will get a limited release in NY and LA theaters on October 13.
