Chaitanya Tamhane’s gorgeously recorded debut unfolds almost in slow motion. A prizewinner at the Venice International Film Festival, the film follows a criminal case in Mumbai’s lower court, tracing the private and professional lives of lawyers, defendants, and judges. A patient examination of a less-than-functional and sometimes even Kafkaesque justice system, Court succeeds as a human drama, raising questions about social structures while vividly portraying the individuals who must navigate them.
