What it’s about. Whenever people are released from their society's constraints, there is the possibility that they will behave badly, at least according to the rules of the society they have left behind. This seems to have been particularly the case for Europeans living in colonial establishments in Africa and Asia. In this drama, based on a story by Stefan Zweig, Dr. Steiner (Andrzej Seweryn) was caught with his fingers in the till at a German hospital. Rather than prosecute him, they gave him the option of emigrating elsewhere. He chose to serve at a clinic in a remote part of Portuguese Goa. He has been on his best behavior for years, but when the beautiful wife (Fanny Ardant) of a diplomat comes to him asking for an abortion, he is tempted to ask for sexual favors in return, and his life swiftly goes out of control.

Who’s in it. Amok stars Fanny Ardant as She, Sonja Kirchberger as Mistress Munich, Andrzej Seweryn as Steiner and Bernard Le Coq as The traveler, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, Amok has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
