"The Goldman case" deals with meticulousness about the second trail of this far left activist sentences first at life for  four robberies and a killing in December 16th 1969 in Paris at the Richard Lenoir boulevard. At this time this affair was potent an many people including journalists or famous support him. Goldman wasn't a people like the others bacause he builds relationships with gangsters, hunts women, drinks a lot and also loves salsa music. The minutes of the the second trail weren't available and the two script writers should use the press, the book names "Souvenirs obscurs d'un juif polonais né en France" written by Goldman in 1975 and the lawyers testimonies for constructing their script. Goldman involving a lot leads the debates by his intelligence and doesn't hesitate to break them when he wants to give his point of view or sometimes fighting with his lawyers. During the second trail many people come to the witness stand for testifying and we must underline the dignity of his wife a black woman face to face with judges. The policemen who have investigate don't say all the same things and the audience understands that any evident proof exist against Goldman. The tension during the trail make us think about the situation in suburbs today even it is the sunset of the far left ideology. Every actors and actresses perform well like Arieh Worthalter as Pierre Goldman who plays with a intensity like Gian Maria Volonté does. The lawyer Georges Kiejman highlights the wikness of the evidences and the jury says May 4th 1976 that Goldman is not guilty. He will stay alive until September 1979 before being killed by far right murderers. "The Goldman case" film director Cédric Kahn tells during journalists interviewes that he follows the goal to make a more demanding film connected with the today topics.
