(France/2023—directed by Cédric Kahn)
One of the most acclaimed new films at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, The Goldman Case is a riveting courtroom drama from French director Cédric Kahn (Red Lights). The film delves into the sensational 1976 trial of Pierre Goldman, a left-wing activist who defended himself against multiple charges, including murder during an armed robbery.
Arieh Worthalter, who won the César for Best Actor, plays Goldman, a revolutionary son of Polish refugees who steadfastly maintained his innocence. His legal team, which includes Arthur Harari (co-author of Anatomy of a Fall), faced a case that became a flashpoint for his generation, raising questions of antisemitism and political bias.
Directed with energetic realism and historical precision, The Goldman Case offers a focused, dramatized portrayal of the actual event. The film is both thoughtful and galvanizing, providing insight into the law while exploring the complexities of national and religious identity in recent history. It is in French with English subtitles. (115 minutes)
“Enthralling, compelling and electrifying.” –Guy Lodge, Variety
