Záchvěv strachu really pulls you into the heavy atmosphere of post-revolutionary Prague. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, mirroring František Vinický's struggles after eight long years in prison. It's a character-driven piece that dives deep into themes of freedom and betrayal, exploring the painful disconnection between him and his past friends. There's this rawness in the performances—especially from the lead—capturing the turmoil of a city still reeling from its lost hopes. The historical context is woven in subtly, which gives it a rather haunting quality, making you think about the impacts of revolution long after it’s over. Definitely a film that lingers.
