Award-winning director Agnieszka Holland is embarking 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 will follow the imprint Kafka left on the world from his birth in 19th-century Prague to his death in post-WW1 Vienna. FRANZ will give the audience a brand new perspective on the life of the man behind the literary giant.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast A refreshingly eccentric spin on the staid biopic. Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz As presented in this somewhat lighthearted and offbeat way, it proves only partially satisfying since it doesn’t really get to the heart of his own metamorphosis and how he has impacted the literary world since his untimely death. Rated: 6/10 Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
