In 1975, Pierre Goldman (Cesar Award-winner Arieh Worthalter) was put on trial in France.

(“I’m innocent because I’m innocent,” Pierre Goldman decries. An incendiary left-wing activist and highly controversial public figure, Goldman proclaims his innocence of the double homicide he’s accused of, despite his admission of multiple armed robberies and shady dealings. Director Cédric Kahn‘s stark courtroom drama recounts Goldman’s 1975 trial in minute detail, holding a magnifying glass to the racial prejudice and antisemitism that were rampant in the country at the time, and examining even broader questions of Jewish identity. Reflecting the political, ideological and racial tensions that marked 1970s France and Europe, when the proceedings were considered to be the trial of the century. This meticulous retelling of that page in history was the Directors’ Fortnight opening film at 2023 Cannes Film Festival.)

(Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel (THE FAIRY, LOST IN PARIS) delight audiences with their blend of slapstick and burlesque. Their latest “crime movie” transmutes the codes of film noir through their characteristically colorful palette and clownish plot twists. Abel plays Boris, a former activist hiding from his dark past, keeping in the shadows as a barkeeper, until a one-armed vigilante finally hunts him down. The fortuitous appearance of a double—the depressive recluse Dom (also played by Abel) seems to offer the perfect decoy. But his tenacious and loopy ex-wife, the private eye Fiona (Gordon), could foil their master plan. Abel and Gordon’s memorable dose of hilarity seems perfectly calibrated to the social mood; each deceptively minimalistic set piece brims with a cinematic intelligence that recalls Tati and Keaton. The cast features Philippe Martz and Bruno Romy and the Japanese dancer Kaori Ito, who plays a willful and hilariously unpredictable femme fatale.
