Watch The UK Trailer For German Lega Scandal The Collini Case
Peccadillo Pictures have released the UK Trailer for Marco Kreuzpaintner’s German courtroom drama The Collini Case.
The film is based on a book of the same name that’s about one of Germany’s biggest legal scandals. Elyas M’Barek stars and confronted with one question as a public defender…What makes a completely blameless man commit a murder? The man he’s defending is Fabrizio Collini played by screen legend Franco Nero (Django). A prominent Italian industrialist accused of killing a German Tycoon.
The reviews have been really strong and it’s a reminder film isn’t just to give your brain a rest. It’s also to give it a challenge too, this looks an intriguing complex workout.
Young attorney Caspar Leinen (Elyas M’Barek) is assigned his first major case when appointed by the court as a defence counsel to Fabrizio Collini (Franco Nero), an unassuming 70-year-old Italian accused of killing the respected industrial magnate Hans Meyer (Manfred Zapatka), seemingly without motive. But there is much more at stake for Caspar than his first big case as a defence lawyer. The victim was not only the grandfather of his childhood sweetheart Johanna (Alexandra Maria Lara), but also a mentor and father figure to him in his youth. Although a non-guilty verdict would propel his career, the damage to his personal relationships would be irreversible. Despite this, Caspar delves deeper into the high-profile case, unravelling the secret troubled past of the family he thought he knew so well, forcing him to stand up for justice.
The film also stars Heiner Lauterbach, Alexandra Maria Lara, Rainer Bock, and Manfred Zapatka. The Collini Case will be released in the UK and Irish cinemas from 10th September.
