Synopsis
Conviction (Une Intime conviction, 2019) is a French legal thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Antoine Raimbault built the film around a real case: professor Jacques Viguier stood trial for his wife's disappearance, and almost no one doubted his guilt. Almost.
Nora sat on the first jury. The verdict didn't sit right with her. When the prosecutor's office pushed for a second trial on appeal, she tracked down a prominent defense attorney and pulled him into the fight. Together they face a courtroom — and a public — that have already made up their minds. Marina Foïs plays Nora not as a crusader but as someone stubborn enough to follow a doubt all the way to the end; Olivier Gourmet brings his usual quiet authority as the lawyer who isn't sure this is winnable.
Raimbault keeps the tension in the details: a hesitation on the stand, a document introduced a beat too late, a witness whose certainty slowly cracks. The Belgian-French co-production is based on real events that ended in a full acquittal. Watch Conviction (2019) online on iFILM.
