Three-time Academy Award nominee director Agnieszka Holland (Angry Harvest, Europa Europa, In Darkness) has embarked on her most ambitious project to date: a biopic of the iconic 20th-century Czech writer Franz Kafka, portrayed by actor Idan Weiss. Conceived as a kaleidoscopic mosaic, the film follows the imprint Kafka left on the world, from his birth in 19th-century Prague to his death in post-WW1 Vienna. Franz offers a brand new perspective on the life of the man behind the literary giant.
