Agnieszka Holland creates a hypnotic portrait of one of the 20th century’s most enigmatic writers: Franz Kafka. The film traces his life from his youth in Prague to his death.
Read moreKnown for films such as Europa Europa (1990), In Darkness (2011), and Green Border (2023), Holland often depicts real events from Europe’s turbulent recent history with raw realism. In Franz, however, she adopts a dreamlike cinematic language that dissolves the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
The result is a vivid, poetic, and unpredictable film that shifts between different layers of existence. Kafka’s creative chaos unfolds in full surreal bloom, with Idan Weiss delivering an intense performance in his first major film role. He captures both the vulnerability and visionary spirit of the iconic author in this fascinating visual journey into the mind of one of literature’s great mysteries.
Another Holland film, A Lonely Woman (1987), is also screened at Kosmorama 2026.
