About

Based on a true story and set in1975 Paris, 'The Goldman Case' is a reconstruction of the appeal hearing of Jewish far-left activist Pierre Goldman. Sentenced to life imprisonment for four armed robberies, one of which resulted in the death of two women, Goldman proudly admitted to the robberies but vehemently maintained his innocence to the charges of murders. A landmark case in French legal history, his trial became a highly charged public and political spectacle and a proxy battlefield for ideological conflict in 1970s France, attracting huge interest and publicity and polarising public opinion.

The result is an intriguing and immersive drama, which garnered several awards, including the César and Lumiere Best Actor awards for Arieh Worthalter's portrayal of Goldman.

The film will be introduced by Jon Davies, a tutor in French Cinema and an Associate of the British Film Institute.
