The Goldman Case (French: Le Procès Goldman) is 2023 French semi-biographical legal docudrama[2] film starring Arieh Worthalter as Pierre Goldman, a far-left militant who was accused of four murders and his relationship with his lawyer Georges Kiejman.[3][4][5][6]

Kahn films the action with the objectivity of a verité documentarian, and his and Nathalie Hertzberg's script has the precision of a historical document. Their research reportedly involved detailed interviews with Kiejman and Chouraqui, as well as in-depth analysis of newspaper articles surrounding his trials. At the same time, this is not a documentary, but rather an ingenious act of synthesis, which combines information from one of Goldman's previous trials and draws information from his book as well. The effect is a concise, but not uncomplicated look at this man through his legal struggles.
