[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

There are seve­ral films about Kafka and adapt­a­ti­ons of his works, moun­ta­ins of Kafka bio­gra­phies and other secon­da­ry lite­ra­tu­re, humo­rous­ly illus­tra­ted in ‘Franz K.’ during one of the excur­si­ons into the bizar­re pre­sent. Agnieszka Holland and aut­hor Marek Epstein have cho­sen a very lively approach for their film ver­si­on, which appears like a coll­ec­tion of short sto­ries. The film repea­ted­ly jumps through time, show­ing excerp­ts and frag­ments of what is known about the life of the high­ly sen­si­ti­ve aut­hor. With a gre­at wil­ling­ness to expe­ri­ment, it allows us to par­ta­ke in his pri­va­te and pro­fes­sio­nal life and visual­ly inter­prets excerp­ts from his work wit­hout, howe­ver, ove­ru­sing ‘Kafkaesque’ imagery. It tells of fami­ly, fri­end­ship, pres­su­re and fear, inner and outer cons­traints, often in a playful man­ner, but also with appro­pria­te serious­ness, as in its tre­at­ment of the incre­asing­ly threa­tening situa­ti­on of Jews in Europe.
