Franz
Agnieszka Holland embarks on her most ambitious project to date, a biopic of the iconic 20th-century Czech writer Franz Kafka. Conceived as a kaleidoscopic mosaic, the film follows the imprint Kafka left on the world, from his birth in 19th-century Prague to his death in post-WW1 Vienna. Franz offers a brand-new perspective on the life of the man behind the literary giant.
