This isn\u2019t just one of the many questions on our country\u2019s collective consciousness right now. It is also the query at the center of \u201cThe Collini Case,\u201d Marco Kreuzpaintner\u2019s courtroom procedural set in contemporary Germany, following a startling, coldblooded case of murder carried out by motivations that seek to get even with the country\u2019s sinful Nazi past. While the handsomely produced slow-burn\u2014adapted from Ferdinand von Schirach\u2019s bestselling novel by screenwriters Christian Z\u00fcbert, Robert Gold and Jens Frederik Otto\u2014attempts to examine timely and ever-relevant <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>s around judiciary ethics, morality, loyalty, and masculinity, it fails to rise above certain clich\u00e9s, dulled further by stiff performances and a clumsy handle on the movie\u2019s interwoven time periods.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Still, Kreuzpaintner milks the story\u2019s mysterious nature for all it\u2019s worth for a while, at least until numerous sign-posts spell out the secrets all too soon throughout an overstretched running time. Happenings in a fancy hotel lead us into the tale, revealing a 70-year-old Italian named Fabrizio Collini (Franco Nero) in the lobby, confessing to murdering someone while covered in blood. Only three months into his career, the fresh-off-the-boat attorney Caspar Leinen (Elyas M\u2019Barek) finds himself court-appointed to this highly publicized, top-shelf criminal case as the defense attorney to the until-then law-abiding citizen Collini, who simply refuses to spare a single word like he\u2019s taken a vow of silence.<\/p>\n<p>But everything gets tangled when Caspar realizes that the victim is the country\u2019s well-regarded industrial tycoon Hans Meyer, who\u2019s pretty much fathered him throughout the &#8217;80s when he was a little boy raised by a single mom. Further complicating this already shady conflict of interest is Caspar\u2019s former law professor Richard Mattinger (Heiner Lauterbach) serving as the young man\u2019s fierce adversary and the complex involvement of Meyer\u2019s granddaughter Johanna (Alexandra Maria Lara of \u201cRush\u201d), Caspar\u2019s romantic interest from the past.<\/p>\n<p>Disclosing its\u00a0three separate timelines in increments\u2014present day, the &#8217;80s and the World War II era, with thousands of its Nazi criminals gone unpunished because of the so-called Dreher Law of 1968\u2014\u201cThe Collini Case\u201d crawls towards its eventual but obvious reveal a bit inelegantly. Along the way, a family tragedy involving Johanna\u2019s brother and Caspar superfluously comes into play, making one feel like a big informational and emotional piece from the novel somehow went missing while being transposed into the film. Also undercooked is Caspar\u2019s half-Turkish background. The film name-checks his heritage, but treats it like an afterthought all the same, even when Caspar\u2019s biological dad who\u2019s deserted his Turkish wife makes a surprise appearance and becomes an oblique clue for the ultimate expos\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Visually, Kreuzpaintner makes the right call by shooting the \u201880s segment of \u201cThe Collini Case\u201d on film, infusing Caspar\u2019s childhood with the innocence and grain of memory. But that cinematic dexterity doesn\u2019t extend to the editing room\u2014the transitions between the eras show their seams, along with\u00a0puzzling decisions such as the opening, symbolic\u00a0footage of Caspar in\u00a0a boxing ring\u2014don\u2019t serve much purpose other than muddying the narrative. On the other hand, the filmmaker pulls off courtroom scenes that are tidily parsed, and demonstrates the intensity of Caspar\u2019s strenuous research through Italian towns and mountains of paperwork in a fairly gripping fashion. And no matter how much you can predict the true reason behind Collini\u2019s crime, the reveal still packs a heartbreaking punch. If only the film could have embraced the beats of a thriller more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Available on VOD today, 6\/5.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tomris Laffly\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/tomris-laffly\/featured_Tomris2y.jpg\" title=\"Tomris Laffly\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tomris_Laffly\"><\/span>Tomris Laffly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Tomris Laffly is a freelance film writer and film critic based in New York.
