About Un coupable
The young Ali, a second year law student, gets caught up in a student demonstration. The situation escalates, a cop is injured and witnesses designate Ali, of Arabic origin, as guilty.
Directed by Roger Hanin, Un coupable leans on a strong ensemble — Michel Piccoli, Hammou Graïa, Nadia Samir — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1988.
