The 10th District Court — Moments of Trials
Raymond Depardon: Humanity in Focus
February 20 - March 4
This mesmerizing documentary returns Raymond Depardon to the court system of Paris, where he follows a judge as she hears a dozen cases that range from petty misdemeanors to major civil proceedings.
The social institutions that enforce law and order (and the people that comprise those institutions) have long been a dominant subject for Raymond Depardon, and this mesmerizing 2004 documentary returns him to the court system of Paris. The 10th District Court follows a judge as dozens of people appear before her, working through cases that range from petty misdemeanors to major civil proceedings. As ever in Depardon’s oeuvre, what emerges is an astonishing group portrait of men and women on both sides of the law, and an elegant meditation on the very notions of guilt and innocence.
