Marked length spectrum rigidity for Anosov surfaces

Let $\Sigma$ be a smooth closed oriented surface of genus $\geq 2$. We prove that two metrics on $\Sigma$ with same marked length spectrum and Anosov geodesic flow are isometric via an isometry isotopic to the identity. The proof combines microlocal tools with the geometry of complex curves.
