An Officer and a Spy (2019) J'accuse

Director: Roman Polanski
Starring: Jean Dujardin, Louis Garrel, Emmanuelle Seigner, Grégory Gadebois, Hervé Pierre, Wladimir Yordanoff

The story of the famous Dreyfus affair, a political scandal that rocked France in the late 19th century. Among the improprieties is a Jewish man wrongfully convicted of treason, even after there is irrefutable evidence showing someone else was the culprit.

It's an absolute masterclass in how to make an historical film.

This subject has something very real and urgent to say about the world we live in today. It's kind of a shame you'll probably never get to see it.
