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 Although he had received acclaim for his book "Transformation", he was still withdrawn and introverted and did not interact with colleagues.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.

The rhythm is very slow, but the plot develops very quickly. You enter the "castle" in a swish, and come out again in a swish.

The neat black and white picture has the effect of a stage play, but this time Jeremy Irons' personal performance did not break through the neurosis.

Doctor Murnau: A crowd is easier to control than an individual. A crowd has a common purpose. The purpose of the individual is always in question.
Franz Kafka: That's what you're trying to eliminate, isn't it? Everything that makes one human being different from another. But you'll *never*, *never* reach a man's soul through a lens.
Doctor Murnau: That rather depends on which end of the microscope you're on, doesn't it?
