"Fever"
1981
Directed by Agnieszka Holland

A gripping political thriller, set in 1905. A group of anarchists plots to assassinate the Russian Tsar's governor in Russian-partitioned Poland. A sensitive script subtly probes the psychological motivations of the anarchists as the bomb is passed among them. Banned for many years by Poland's Communist authorities despite its winning the Grand Prize at the Gdansk Film Festival. With Jan Kanty Pawluskiewidz and Barbara Grabowska. Polish with English subtitles.  115 minutes.
