THE GOLDSTEIN FILES

A bomb goes off in the Romanian Senate on Dec. 8, 1920. The first and only attack of its kind unravels in an unprecedented investigation. Young Max Goldstein and two other anarchists are deemed responsible for plotting the act. But who is Max, the “pirate hook” man, and why is he engaged in explosive experiments? Bold and innovative in form and style, the film delves into the reasons and forms of political violence, drawing on the socio-political-cultural context of the interwar to reflect on contemporary society and its issues today.
