The Realm (2018)

The Realm: Directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen. With Antonio de la Torre, Mónica López, Josep Maria Pou, Bárbara Lennie. A Spanish politician whose high-class lifestyle is based on nefarious and illegal business threatens to break his entire party after a newspaper expose him to the public eye.

“This movie is brutal. From second one, it grips you in its story line about politics and corruption, with a tight and breathless script and amazing acting (de la Torre has an intensity that transpires from the screen, and here gives us again a bravura performance) and doesnu0026#39;t let go till the last very last frame. It may be *just another movie about corrupt politicians and their love of money and power, but it is so magnificently done, so beautifully shot, and so angry, that you wonu0026#39;t be able to take your eyes from the screen. Watch it.”
