Le juge et l'assassin
Bertrand Tavernier
Two forms of violence are brought into stark relief in late 19th-century France: that of a deranged killer and that of the state, legal and insidious, epitomised by a reactionary judge. Tavernier’s scathing film exposes class warfare and the abuse of power by bourgeois society. Featuring an exceptional score by Philippe Sarde.
