In Cedric Kahn's visceral portrayal of Pierre Goldman's retrial, the film exposes not just the nuances of courtroom proceedings but also the deeper social issues embedded within them.
Goldman's defense intricately weaves personal narrative into the courtroom drama, asserting his innocence not based on character but on his undeniable absence during the time of the crime.
The trial becomes a stage for broader societal dialogues on antisemitism and the complexities of revolutionary politics, showcasing how individual stories reflect national histories.
In this chaotic second trial, Goldman's contempt for the proceedings stems from both his revolutionary ideals and the palpable tension of a flawed justice system.
