Special Section
A Drama and History film released in 1975, Special Section runs 1h 50m and comes from France. Soap2Day lists it with Costa-Gavras directing and Louis Seigner and Michael Lonsdale in the cast. It holds 7.1/10 from 55 votes. In Nazi-occupied France, a German officer is assassinated. The Germans demand justice, and the Vichy government is quick to capitulate. Unable to apprehend the actual culprits, Minister of Justice Joseph Barthélémy decides the execution of token Frenchmen will suffice, but the problem is finding judges and jurors eager to participate in a sham trial of innocent men. The solution is a Special Section, a court comprised of individuals handpicked for this exact purpose.
