The year is 1975 and Pierre Goldman, a fiery and controversial figure of evolutionary left-wing activism, stands trial. Guilty of numerous charges, Goldman proclaimed his innocence after being accused of a double murder.

The Opening Film of the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2023 Cannes Festival, The Goldman Case is based on a true story that divided a country twenty years before the OJ Simpson case. Filmmaker Cédric Kahn (Happy Birthday, 2019 Haifa IFF) turns the case into gripping drama and a microcosm of the political, ideological and racial tensions that marked 1970s France and Europe.

Filmography: The Prayer (2018), Wild Life (2014), A Better Life (2011), Regrets (2009), L'avion (2005), Red Lights (2004), Roberto Succo (2001), L'ennui (1998).
