Franz
<b>Franz Kafka</b>’s life and legacy are brought playfully to life in Czech director <b>Agnieszka Holland</b>’s energetic biopic, with <b>Idan Weiss</b> perfectly cast as the iconic writer. Moving backwards and forwards in time from his childhood with an overbearing father (<b>Peter Kurth</b>) to his creation of classics including The Trial and Metamorphosis, and his complicated love life that often worked better on paper than in person, <b>Holland</b>’s unorthodox approach immerses us in <b>Kafka</b>’s emotions as well as his creations. The kaleidoscopic result allows each facet of <b>Kafka</b>’s life to shine while also considering our, often surreal, treatment of his literary legacy.
