Franz

A compelling story inspired by the life, work and imagination of the writer Franz Kafka , who managed to be fascinatingly ahead of his time. Vegetarian, workaholic, introvert, outsider, lover in letters and clerk in nightmare. Franz is full of fantasy, humor, pain and the inner world of a man who defined modern existential anxieties in his books, and even a hundred years after his death remains a mirror of our deepest fears and desires. Director Agnieszka Holland composes a kaleidoscope of events from fragments, dreams, letters and preserved stories. The result is a sensually intense portrait of a man who never stopped searching for himself - and in doing so touched something essential in all of us.
