A fascinating figure from Czechoslovak history
The story flows — you don't even notice how time passes… yes, it's a long film. Before you know it, it's over. The cinematography is excellent — sensitive, measured. No jarring cuts, just how it should be. The content of the film is another conversation entirely. On one hand it's exactly what you'd expect — as a "spy" you skim something off the top for yourself and give the rest to the Party. But those historical connections and intrigues — you can barely believe that all of this could actually have happened.
I'd definitely recommend watching it — it's worth it. If only for the content itself, which should not be forgotten.
