Agnieszka Holland charts the burgeoning talent and tragically short life of the Czech writer.
Franz is torn between a stern father and the monotony of his job at an insurance company, and an overwhelming desire to write. What emerges is an author who transforms his lived experiences into a vision of a bureaucratic world that edges towards nightmare. Idan Weiss excels as the young Kafka with Josef Trojan skilfully playing his alter ego and Tomasz Naumiuk's camera beautifully conjures up early 20th-century Prague.Part of the 24th Kinoteka Polish Film Festival organised by Polish Cultural Institute.
Dir. Agnieszka Holland, Czech Republic-Poland-Germany-France-Turkey 2025, 127min, English subtitles With: Idan Weiss, Peter Kurth, Jenovéfa Boková, Carol Schuler, Josef Trojan
