LE JUGE ET L'ASSASSIN / The Judge and the Assasin

BERTRAND TAVERNIER
France      125 m.
Synopsis
This is perhaps one of Tavernier's hardest films. It places us face to face with the ambiguity of Justice. Who is worse: a cracked criminal set free by doctors or the sober judge who hides his own human misery and manipulates justice at will? A very topical subject, although set in the France of 1983, with the Dreyfus trial as background. The film is dedicated to Abraham Polonsky.
