Bjelogrlic really out-done himself with this movie. Based on the book "Vinca case" and a real event that occured less than a century ago, the plot captures an intense story of both trying to build an atomic bomb in ex Yugoslavia and curing the scientists from all the radiation caused by it.
Some of the scenes were to agonizing to watch, so it is not a movie for everyone. The protagonist has a dual personality, where we both understand (pitty) him and hate him and blame him for all the mess. Nevertheless it leads you through happiness, pain, anger, sadness, disbelief and many other emotions but for sure will not leave you numb.
I think that this story of the first bone marrow transplant was an important one to be told to honour Georges Mathé and his astonishing work that helped many. Apart from that I really liked the idea of the subtitle "Chain reaction" which fluctuated through the film and practically explains The butterfly effect and the overall consequence of every small action.
Some of the scenes that show kindness and joy in people in the hardest situations made the whole movie so special.
Overall the acting is impeccable, and the plot, as I mentioned, is so touching and one of the best pieces I have seen for a long time.

"Guardians of the Formula," directed by Dragan Bjelogrlic, is a compelling cinematic feat that skillfully brings to life the gripping tale of the 1958 Vincha Institute nuclear accident. Bjelogrlic, alongside a stellar cast including Alexis Manenti and Radivoje Bukvic, delves into this poignant historical moment with finesse and depth. The actors deliver powerful performances, embodying their characters' struggles and triumphs with authenticity. The production quality of the film is commendable, seamlessly blending historical accuracy with narrative emotion, making it a passionate tribute to a critical scientific milestone and the indomitable human spirit.
Saw this at the Movies That Matter 2024 filmfestival in The Hague. Insightful story about dilemma's faced by scientists, who want to forward not only science but also (and maybe foremost) their own careers, sometimes at the expense of everyone and everything. We see their interactions with politicians they need for their budget and to obtain material that is difficult to come by. Similarly, we see encounters with the secret service wanting to know all about their progress and what purpose it can serve, not always for the best of mankind, but they have leverage to get what they want to know, or to steer the project in the direction they prefer.
We see relevant issues in this context from two scientists, one behind the iron curtain and one on our side whose lives become entangled by (literally) accident. They both conclude that their encounter has a purpose. They delve deep in their motives and their conscience, equally relevant in both their respective research fields. In one of the final scenes we see a butterfly appear, not having a specific role, but carrying a hint towards us viewers that a minor flapping of a butterfly's wing can cause an avalanche or a tornado elsewhere in the world (butterfly and avalanche, both famous from chaos theory).
Neglecting family relationships is a particularly nasty habit of scientists. Our main protagonist even misses the birth of his first child. Later, when he is congratulated with the happy event, he does not even know whether it was a boy or a girl.
Even worse are their interactions with staff and others around. In contemporary terms: an unsafe work environment. With our 21st century eyes we consider their manners dubious, to say the least. We know that such norms have shifted considerably since 1958 but are also aware it still does not apply everywhere. An example from this film: firing someone in the middle of a crucial experiment when she did not address the project leader with his proper title, is not only counterproductive but is fatal in destroying a sound and safe work environment where every opinion and every employee counts.
All in all, an enlightening story in many aspects. The ancient environment anno 1958 seems to be rebuilt very well (I was 10 at the time, so my memory may fail on details). Strong and believable protagonists, each giving insight in what they want to achieve, though their ways of getting things done are not always the finest examples of pure science for the benefit of humanity. I scored a 5 out of 5 for the audience award when leaving the venue.

Fantastic movie. Excellent production, amazing actors. A story that deserves to be told, for the whole world to know. An event that changed the course of medicine. A depiction of a situation that begins as catastrophic and ends as revolutionary. All praise for this film, the warmest recommendation. I would not share too many details, but I believe that many will be surprised by the information from the film, even those who know the history of Yugoslavia. The film carries several wonderful messages, and as the most important I would single out the one from the title itself - "everything is a chain reaction". A very interesting presentation of how one event, perhaps seemingly not so important, can affect so many people on so many levels, and, even more importantly, completely unexpectedly, shape the entire world into the way we know it today.
Guardians of the Formula is a Serbian produced film with cooperation from French production studios. The film revolves about a group of Yugoslavian scientist who have been irradiated during an experiment in the nuclear research center Vinca in Belgrade. After being processed their only chance is to be transported to France where their only hope lies in the ambitions doctor Mateo who could help them by using a revolutionary method not yet tested on human beings. The film perfectly captures the Cold War atmosphere with the personal angst of the irradiated scientist as well as the staff that are treating them and giving them emotional support, the acting is good, really close to Western style movies, with production being nearly identical to say the least. As the films moves to it's conclusion it loses some steam, both the ending of movie fixes that steam and it gives it a nice conclusion. If you are from the states of former Yugoslavia (or are a movie buff) then you should at least give this movie a chance!
