Hello, this is Dom…
From Blue Eyes Film & Distribution, the new European thriller – Manipulation – will be released in UK cinemas on 6th November 2026. Here’s what they had to say:
Manipulation is the first international film by Czech director David Balda, who successfully released his debut feature Narusitel (Intruder) in 2019 at the age of eighteen. This made David one of the world’s youngest film directors to have a full-length feature film released into Czech cinemas and Netflix.
Manipulation features an international cast, including British actor James Faulkner (Game of Thrones), Féodor Atkine (Ronin), Heino Ferch (Downfall), Arnaud Binard (Emily in Paris), Predrag Bjelac (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), and Pawel Delag (Schindler’s list, Quo Vadis). The film is beautifully shot with locations in Prague, Ferrara and Bologna.
In the film, a powerful elite society operates in plain sight while exerting unseen control across Europe and beyond. What appears to be influence is, in fact, a sophisticated system of manipulation embedded within both political structures and the Church itself. As the layers are peeled back, the thriller reveals an omnipresent threat — adaptive, relentless, and far more powerful than initially believed — challenging the very notion of free will and authority in the modern world.
Many thanks to Strike Media and Blue Eyes Film & Distribution for providing the images above.
Dom.
For John.
