En la cinematografía checa podemos encontrar varias películas de gran éxito sobre el tema del alcohol. The Abstainer definitivamente no estará entre ellas y caerá en el olvido tras abandonar la plataforma Netflix. Una estrella para mi tocayo Fridrich, la otra para mi Vals de las Flores favorito, que se escucha varias veces.

The greatest asset of this intimate drama is undoubtedly the casting of Josef Trojan in the title role of the young alcoholic Adam. The son of the acclaimed Czech actor is a chip off the old block and his convincing performance really makes this movie. What I don't understand is why the theme song Kvit performed by the band Nebe doesn't play until the closing credits. That music would have been much more appropriate to the plot than a Tchaikovsky symphony, which definitely no nineteen-year-old would listen to on his ear phones nowadays. I would also have welcomed clearer transitions between the present and the past, sometimes I got a bit lost in it. (65%)
