Justice (German: Justiz) is a 1993 German-language film directed by Hans W. Geißendörfer.

[1][2][3] Isaak Kohler (Maximilian Schell) coolly walked up to a man everyone assumed was his friend and shot him dead.

This took place in front of dozens of witnesses in a busy restaurant, and there was no question about his guilt.

Perhaps in order to ease his daughter's pain about the incident, he has hired a legal representative to arrange for him to receive a retrial.

This crime and courtroom drama is based on a novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, whose works are highly respected within the German-speaking intellectual community but whose appeal has proved difficult to translate.
