documentary
Elegant, sophisticated doc by a French team who followed a criminal case in Jacksonville, Florida from beginning to end. They, and the young black defendant were fortunate to have as the defense attorney an articulate, committed advocate who scorned the police work on this case and systematically destroyed their 'case' in court.
The editing here stood out - interview scenes were sprinkled among location shoots, reenactments and courtroom drama and gave a sense of insider knowingness to the viewer. The air of suspense by the end was palpable.
As good as this type of film gets.
