Dziga Vertov’s manifesto Cinema Eye is the conceptual and structural backdrop to 'To the Last Breath'.

Dziga Vertov’s manifesto Cinema Eye is the conceptual and structural backdrop to To the Last Breath. The film structure is based on the circular building of the former Croatian People’s Revolution Museum (today HDLU), circled around by a National Liberation Army fighter as the film’s main narrator. The circle is not only a visual category, but also the editing plan for the film. The building which acts as the supporting structure of the film has made a full circle without moving: from art, to politics, to religion, ideology and war, only to finally return to art. The film presents a dedication to theoretical works written by the envoys of the Russian avant-garde with whom the author was obsessed ever since the Cinema Club experimental works, when he knew the Cinema Eye manifesto by heart.
