To live without living, as to die without dying: writing throws us into these enigmatic sentences. --Maurice Blanchot, "The Writing of Disasters"
It is not enough to limit the reading of Soderbergh's Kafka to a political fable, as the first sociological study of the novelist Kafka saw the former as a "bureaucratic satire". "Painting" is stuck in the stage of the old criticism tradition that adheres to the principle of simulation, and it is difficult to see the anxiety...

Steven Soderbergh's "Kafka" is not like an autobiographical documentary. Its picture quality is black and white and then color. It seems to be in line with the absurd and bizarre plot: all those who enter the castle will eventually be "brainwashed" , and become undifferentiated beings.
Because the collective is unconscious, and the individual is always in a state of doubt.
The only Kafka-related imagery is that of
him, with the title of Doctor of Laws, ghostly...

It's not a complete biopic, but it does a good job of Kafka. The film begins with the disappearance of one of his few friends. The director takes us step by step to gradually understand Kafka. As Kafka has called off his engagement three times in this film, he also insinuates Kafka many times. His works, such as castles, trials, verdicts, and some famous quotes... When Kafka entered the castle, the picture changed from black and white to color, which was like his delusional world. As Kafka said...

The director is Capricorn Soderbergh, and the heroine is beautiful.
The black and white and gray three-color movie images are like the texture of film, and we are more likely to use this as an opportunity to enter the gloomy and heavy world of Kafka; of course, occasionally because of the strong contrast with reality, it is easier to withdraw from the environment. individuals to rational reflection.
The high-saturation three-color allows us to pay more direct attention to...

Kafka - Master is always crazy
I haven't read Kafka's novels, and I always feel that recommending this movie would be out of my reach, but aside from his identity as a master of existentialism, what attracted me was a thrilling movie full of bizarre feelings. Because this is not a Kafka biopic,
the word "being" is a word that only "people" are qualified to use. If you ask dead objects: "Does the table exist? Does the chair exist?" the question is actually meaningless, because whether you ask the question or not, these...

I think I am ignorant. The first time I came into contact with a political thriller, the last time I watched "Inglourious Basterds" was the first time I came into contact with the aesthetics of violence. The soundtrack and color transitions are a highlight. Mind control authority, a topic that is easy to come into contact with recently, the "1Q84" just introduced and watched has more or less such a mood. The rules have changed, adapt or...

It uses a lot of expressions of the silent film era, not only the style of Kafka, but also the sense of the era of the early 20th century. It is almost the same as reading "The Castle", a magical...

Little People, Company Staff, Castles, Graves, Mind Control Authority, Murder, Dossier: The World of Kafka. Soderbergh's understanding of Kafka is rather impatient in the colored section. Shots, composition, camera movement are all pretty good,...
Oscar: [to Kafka] Miss Rossman was here looking for you.
Ludwig: Gabriela.
Oscar: Do you know her?
Franz Kafka: Do you?
Oscar: Well, we saw her naked once.
Doctor Murnau: You despise someone like me - because you despise the modern. But you are at the very forefront of what is modern. You write about it, you document it... Unlike you, though, I have chosen to embrace it.
Youthful Anarchist: [discussing Kafka] How much have you told him?
Gabriela: He's a clerk; he knows nothing.
Mustachioed Anarchist: Eduard said he's a writer.
Youthful Anarchist: That could be useful.
Female Anarchist: That could be dangerous.
