THE GOLDMAN CASE
Saturday, May 4th at 4 PM

$16 Public | $10 Members
This gripping courtroom drama delves into the sensational and widely followed
1976 trial of Pierre Goldman, a Jewish activist defending himself against
multiple charges, including murder. Goldman steadfastly maintained his
innocence, while the facts of his case became a flash point for a generation,
raising questions of antisemitism and political ideology. Directed with vérité
realism and pinpoint historical precision, The Goldman Case is both
subdued and electrifying, communicating so much about the complexity of Jewish
identity in recent European history. It was the opening night film in the
Director’s Fortnight section at Cannes. (France, 2023, 115 mins, French | Dir. Cedric Kahn)
