In “Anatomy of a Fall” she stars as a writer who is the main suspect in her husband’s death, while in “Zone of Interest” she is the wife of the commandant of the Auschwitz death camp.However, the award for best female actor went to Merve Dizdar, who plays a teacher in an isolated village in Turkey in Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s “About Dry Grasses.
The award was accepted on his behalf by the two main stars of the tragicomedy that follows a budding romance between a quiet young woman and a heavy-drinking sandblaster.
