Set during the short-lived 1905 Polish uprising against the Russian empire, Holland’s fascinating and ambivalent drama about the promise and failures of revolutionary movements was very timely, made between the rise of the Solidarity movement and the imposition of martial law in Poland in the early 1980s. FEVER follows the story of a bomb that keeps changing hands, looking with clear-eyed skepticism at the people who plan to use it. Barbara Grabowska won the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival for her performance in the film.Screening as part of AGNIESZKA HOLLAND'S POLAND.
