In 1905 Poland, anarchists pass a newly-made bomb between them for attacks on a Tsarist governor. The device&apos;s presence proves devastating to the revolutionary group.

Goraczka (Dzieje jednego pocisku)

Living on the edge

&quot;Fever&quot; is an apt title for a film that does not hold back on passions and continues the streak of wild romanticism that could be seen in a dozen Polish films since the legendary &quot;Ashes and Diamonds&quot;. The film&apos;s atmosphere is hard to describe, but imagine something in a Byron-meets-Kafka vein: idealistic and highly emotional characters crushed by an omnipresent and invisible dictatorship.

Hard-core anarchist, desperately enamored bomber, honest but naive peasant, happy-go-lucky hooligan... None of them is your standard fare good guy, but it is hard not to sympathize with their tragic destiny. Yes, there&apos;s tragedy and Central European gloom all over the place.

The most terrifying and symbolic sight of the film takes place after a hanging, when a platoon of soldiers starts stomping the ground where they have just buried the poor devil. Funeral march indeed. To drive the point home, a hooligan is continuously whistling that most famous funeral march of all, composed not so surprisingly by Chopin, another Pole.

What really surprises me is that I&apos;m the first person writing a comment about this great movie. Polish film buffs, where have you gone?
