The Goldman Case
From Fri 20 Sep to Mon 28 OctCédric Khan’s tense, edge-of-the-seat courtroom drama powerfully recreates the trial of Pierre Goldman in 1976 France, which was widely acknowledged as the most divisive case since the Dreyfus Affair of 1894.
Pierre Goldman, a fiery and controversial figure of revolutionary left-wing activism, was put on trial in France. Accused of multiple crimes including two murders, Goldman proclaims his innocence. Considered to be the trial of the century, the Goldman case divided an entire country and reflects the political, ideological and racial tensions which marked the 1970s in France and Europe.
Selected to open the Critics Week in Cannes, The Goldman Case earned Arieh Worthalter the 2024 César for Best Actor.
