Kafka is a famous master of Expressionism in the 20th century . This film uses him as the hero, but it is not a serious biopic, but a rather unique political thriller based on a bizarre encounter in his youth. At the time, Kafka was a small clerk in an insurance company. Although he had received acclaim for his book "Transformation", he was still withdrawn and introverted and did not interact with colleagues. One day, the only colleague who had close contact with him died unexpectedly. His fiancée couldn't accept the police's claim that it was suicide, so she asked Kafka to help find out the truth. Since both of them are anarchist revolutionaries, the group asks Kafka to join the group and help write the leaflet. Kafka refuses and gets caught in the center of the maelstrom, where he discovers the horrific truth.

To directly and rudely interpret the castle as a totalitarian bureaucratic machine, and even let the protagonist enter the castle directly in the third act, which is equivalent to directly blocking the ambiguity of the concept of the castle - you must know that Kafka does not even have a castle. Clearly, what about being visible or even accessible? Moreover, the absurdity of "Castle" exists not only in the castle, but also in K; directly replacing the protagonist with Kafka and self-righteously applying the crude logic system that is almost binary opposition is simply a blasphemy to Kafka. . If it doesn't hang a Kafka's name, maybe the score can be higher; since it hangs, there is only one X.

A thriller and suspense film with a weird atmosphere. It looks like a film noir on the surface, but Cronenberg is very Cronenberg in the bones. In fact, I always feel that Soderbergh made this film to pay tribute to Cronenberg's "Nude Lunch".

Franz Kafka: Well, I have no reason to doubt.
Gabriela: They're authorities! That's reason enough.
