Personal life

edit
]
Triet is in a relationship with French filmmaker
Arthur Harari
,
[2]
with whom she has two daughters.
[24]
The couple first worked together on Triet's
Age of Panic
(2013), with Arthur starring as the friend and the lawyer of Laetitia's boyfriend. Since then, the couple had occasionally helped with each others projects, the most recent one being
Anatomy of a Fall
(2023); however, they do not plan to collaborate on any future projects following the completion of this film.
[25]
Triet is a member of the French gender equality group Collectif 50/50.
[26]
[27]
While receiving her
Palme d'Or
at the
2023 Cannes Film Festival
, Triet declared her support for the
pension reform protest movement
and opposed to President
Emmanuel Macron
's repression of it. She accused the "neo-liberal government" of fostering cultural commercialization and weakening France's cultural exceptionalism.
[28]
Triet dedicated her prize to new directors and those facing challenges in the film industry, urging greater chances and support for rising talent. Her remarks linked to debates that took place in France in October 2022 at the
Appel aux Etats Generaux
(Call for General Assemblies), an exhibition conference,
[29]
during which some industry insiders blamed French "
auteur
" filmmaking for dwindling box office and urged for a reduction in French film output.
[30]
Triet's speech was criticized by Macron's party, right-wing activists and politicians, and by French culture minister
Rima Abdul Malak
, who said she was "flabbergasted by such unfair comments."
[31]
Triet's speech received support from left-wing politicians and the
SRF
, the French directors's guild.
[32]
[29]
According to
Variety
, several French insiders claimed that Triet was "punished" for criticizing Macron when France's Oscar committee chose to submit
The Taste of Things
over
Anatomy of a Fall
to represent the country in the
Best International Feature Film
category at the
96th Academy Awards
.
[33]
In January 2024, she signed a petition against
Javier Milei
's reforms on Argentine film schools.
