Opening this year’s Directors’ Fortnight, “The Goldman Case” soars on rhetoric and singes with political debate, condensing a decade worth of civic upheaval into the narrow contours of a courtroom thriller.
“I was struck by the quality of Goldman’s language and thought,” Kahn says. “Though I was approached to do a more conventional biopic, I didn’t find Goldman’s life all that interesting. His was a life of failures and renunciations; Goldman’s great work, for me, was his writing – and the place for that was the trial itself.”
“This was a collective experience,” Kahn explains. “Each and every person at the back of the room followed the shoot each and every day, like me. [As a director] I could judge the quality of each take just by feeling the reaction of the room. That alone let me know whether the actors were convincing.”
As written by Kahn and played by Worthalter, Goldman is the ringleader of his own murder trial, playing competing courtroom factions off one another, often to the chagrin of his own defense attorneys. “He is like a showman,” says Kahn. “Goldman stages his own accusation, and primes the public, putting on a show while questions of life and death are at stake.”
