Cork Cine Club presents THE GOLDMAN CASE [France]

Tickets go on sale Sunday 15 September at 8:00am.

November 1975, Paris. The appeal hearing of Jewish far-left activist Pierre Goldman is set to begin. Sentenced to life imprisonment for four armed robberies, one of which resulted in the death of two women, Goldman pleads not guilty to the murder charges. The massively covered court proceedings transform Goldman into a romantic figure and a hero of the intellectual left, even as the relationship with his young attorney Georges Kiejman frays.

Ever the agitator for his ideals, the elusive and mercurial Goldman throws his own trial into chaos, risking a death sentence. The Goldman Case paints a psycho-pathological portrait of a militant revolutionary, but also of a society torn apart by patterns of racism and injustice that are still virulent today.

The action is situated in the 1970s, but the movie echoes with the debates and scars of France today. It couldn’t be more contemporary. – Guardian pick, Best European Culture of 2023

Riveting and politically relevant. – The Hollywood Reporter

The acting, the very hurling of words across a small room, drives all the paradoxical points home, with Worthalter magnetic as the mercurial Goldman – a hard man to like but also to look away from. – Screen International

Enthralling…a courtroom drama that finds equal intrigue in legal order and human chaos. – Variety
