“Franz Kafka” – Crafting the Quiet Revolt of a Literary Icon
In this evocative biographical drama, Agnieszka Holland invites us into the early world of Franz Kafka: a young, internally torn man caught between the demands of a domineering father, the strange logic of an emerging corporate society, and the restless stirrings of his own imagination. Set in the bureaucratic grind of early 20th-century Prague and touched by modern echoes, the film traces how Kafka’s fears, isolation, and search for meaning sired literary masterpieces—and how his personal crisis still reverberates today.
