The Goldman Case
Gripping courtroom drama based on the explosive 1976 murder trial of French political activist, Pierre Goldman.
Director: Cédric Kahn
Overview
The heated 1976 trial of French left-wing intellectual and activist Pierre Goldman, accused of murdering two pharmacists in a bungled robbery, is reconstructed in Cédric Kahn’s riveting courtroom drama. Kahn’s portrait of a trial that gripped France is a stripped back masterpiece. Unfurling within the claustrophobic environs of a tense, heavy courtroom, in style The Goldman Case draws heavily on the cinematographic style of certain 1970s documentaries, an aesthetic that transports us to the very heart of the drama.
Arieh Worthalter’s award-winning turn as the volatile Goldman is explosive – his indignation at the injustice he feels he has been subject to manifests itself as a stream of barely contained rage, as he seeks to clear his name. It just one riveting element of a taut and compelling film that examines both this famous case, and wider issues surrounding institutional antisemitism and the revolutionary spirit of the 1970s.
