Scenario

The last year of Franz Kafka’s life and its surprising love story. I saw it at a movie night in a German club. It was the 100th anniversary of K’s death. I spoke to another elder who, like me, went through a Kafka phase before moving on to a Hermann Hesse phase. For that, it’s a fairly gripping little film. But it’s too banal and predictable to succeed as a film. There’s an irony in making such an optimistic film about this profound pessimist. It struck me that On Chesil Beach (2017) is the film that tries and utterly fails. There’s always a tension between live-action biopics and documentaries. When there’s a lot of visual material, the documentary can easily be more worth our time. I recommend the documentary Franz Kafka, on the YouTube channel Author Documentaries.
