THE GOLDMAN CASE
2023 Films
•
1h 55m
November 1975. The second trial of Pierre Goldman is set to begin. Goldman, a far-left activist, faces life imprisonment for four armed robberies, one of which resulted in the death of two pharmacists, both women. Pleading not guilty at his trial, in a matter of weeks Goldman is transformed into a hero of the intellectual left. Before long, however, the relationship between Goldman and his attorney, the young Georges Kiejman, begins to fray. The elusive Goldman, ever the agitator, renders the outcome of the trial uncertain, risking a death sentence.
