Franz Kafka
“Franz Kafka” — the long-awaited international production directed by the acclaimed and award-winning Agnieszka Holland (Green Border, In Darkness) — is not just a portrait of one of the literary icons of the 20th century, who continues to inspire artists and fascinate new generations. It is a story about a sensitive man whose fears and dilemmas deeply resonate with today’s young generation.
The director follows in her protagonist’s footsteps, weaving an extraordinary mosaic from the key moments of his life. Franz Kafka — a young man trapped in the nightmare of bureaucratic everyday life, strikingly similar to the modern reality of corporate workers. A vegetarian by choice — long before it became commonplace. The son of a despotic father, entangled in fragile relationships with women. Plunged into an existential crisis long before loneliness became a side effect of social media. Misunderstood and full of anxiety, he escaped into a world of irony, absurdity, and imagination, creating works that made him one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.
