Rajko Grlić is one of the pivotal directors in Croatian cinema. His previous film, THE CONSTITUTION, was a controversial and committed work that garnered a dozen international awards, including the Grand Prize of the Americas at the Montreal Film Festival in 2016. Now, he returns in grand style to crown his brilliant filmography with this powerful and vibrant thriller that exposes the systemic corruption in Politics, Justice, and the Media in some countries. It immerses us, like few films have done before, into the mechanisms that drive the gears of modern democracies. This bold, uncompromising film is sure to unsettle the powers that be. Based on the successful novel ON THE BRINK OF REASON by the prestigious writer Miroslav Krleža, Grlić has adapted it to contemporary times to make it a story of universal significance that could unfold in any European country, akin to the Spanish film THE REALM by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, and echoing the classic ALL THE KING’S MEN by Robert Rossen.
