Synopsis

The proceedings of a Paris courtroom are the grist for this documentary. Drawn from over 200 appearances before the same female judge, the director chooses a dozen or so varied misdemeanor and civil hearings to highlight the subtle details of human behaviour. In the process he draws attention to issues of guilt, innocence, policing and ethnicity in France.

Reception

The Guardian's Mark Kermode judged 10th District Court showed a "gallery" of personalities which was "fascinating".[2] His colleague Peter Bradshaw considered the film a "superb documentary".[3]

gollark: Hmm. The owner of that pairing's *other* child may be slightly annoyed.
gollark: It's a zyu, so people will probably look at it and think either "My god. I need to stop these deceptive practices and become an honest dragon breeder" or "I'll just find someone else to con".
