Trailer & Synopsis
From award-winning director Agnieszka Holland, FRANZ is a richly detailed portrait of one of literature’s most influential and elusive figures.
Structured as a series of shifting chapters, FRANZ follows Franz Kafka from his early years in Prague to his final days in Vienna, moving through the people, places and experiences that shaped both his life and writing.
Caught between the rigid expectations of his domineering father, the routine of his work in an insurance office and a relentless need to write, Kafka struggles to reconcile ordinary life with an imagination that increasingly consumes him. Friendships, love affairs and creative breakthroughs unfold alongside growing self-doubt, revealing a man both deeply observant and painfully isolated.
Across fragments of memory, letters and lived experience, FRANZ traces how Kafka’s anxieties, humour and inner contradictions gave rise to the writing that would define him, assembling a portrait where life and work remain inseparable.
Franz is showing in cinemas since May 03, 2026 to June 10, 2026
