An elderly folk singer and grassroots organizer is arrested on a trumped-up charge of inciting a sewage worker to commit suicide. His trial is plagued with endless procedural delays, coached witnesses for the prosecution, and obsessive privileging of arcane colonial law over reason and mercy.
In his breakthrough debut feature, writer-director Chaitanya Tamhane (The Disciple) intelligently brings to the screen a gripping, rigorous examination of the legal system in India. A new classic of the courtroom drama genre, Court won two prizes at the Venice Film Festival!
