Courted

Courted is a 2015 French drama film written and directed by Christian Vincent and starring Fabrice Luchini, Sidse Babett Knudsen and Eva Lallier. Winner of Best Screenplay and Best Actor (Luchini) at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.

Xavier Racine (Luchini) is a feared presiding judge at criminal court. His nickname is “The Two Figure Judge,” because he always hands down sentences of at least 10 years. Everything changes dramatically the day Racine meets Ditte Lorensen-Coteret (Babett Knudsen). She is on the jury trying a man accused of homicide. Six years earlier, Racine fell in love with the same woman. Almost in secret. She is perhaps the only woman he has ever loved.
