The tense, immersive courtroom drama follows the 1975 trial of Pierre Goldman, a fiery and controversial figure of revolutionary left-wing activism. Facing a life sentence, he accepts charges of robbery but denies any involvement in two murders. Twenty years before the OJ Simpson case, the Goldman trial reflects the political, ideological, and racial tensions that marked the 1970s in France and Europe. Then considered to be the trial of the century, it divided an entire country and widened the gap between the conservative right and left-wing intelligentsia.

More screenings from Friday 20 September.
