Franz

Selected as Poland’s official submission to the 98th Academy Awards ® for Best International Feature Film, Franz is a bold, unique and creatively astonishing portrait of a young writer who finds himself at odds with the world around him. Described by Holland as one of her most personal films, Franz explores the essence of Franz Kafka (brilliantly portrayed by Idan Weiss) as he navigates institutions of family, business and state. Marek Epstein’s script interweaves past and present, exposes structure and shows his world from atypical angles: sound and design emphasise fragility and turmoil. A richly rewarding cinematic experience for lovers of Kafka and newcomers alike.
