From Academy Award-nominated Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa, Washington Square) comes the biopic Franz, a formally inventive and deeply human portrait of the literary icon Franz Kafka.

Offering audiences a fresh interpretation of one of the 20th century’s most enigmatic figures, Franz is conceived as a kaleidoscopic mosaic spanning from Kafka’s birth in 19th-century Prague to his death in post–World War I Vienna. Holland’s film attempts to capture both the man and the myth, revealing the writer’s creative vision, alienation, and lasting cultural imprint.

It stars Idan Weiss, Peter Kurth (In the Aisles), Jenovéfa Boková, Ivan Trojan, and Sandra Korzeniak.

Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Leslie Felperin called Franz “playful and moving… the only proper life-spanning biopic made so far about Kafka.”

Bonus features on the Blu-ray and DVD include an interview with the director moderated by filmmaker Jeremy Kagan and a theatrical trailer.
