Excellent work

If it is just a biography, it is obviously not worthwhile, because throughout Kafka's life, his external life does not have a dramatic plot, but Soderbergh chose a scene that may be taken from a nightmare, and it is immediately different. The black and white color shows that this can indeed be understood as a nightmare (perhaps Kafka’s own dream?), perhaps more like a fight in a twisted fairy tale, the street lights on the empty streets are like cruel tears, panic running is actually It's fighting against himself, death can be easily wiped away, so in the end he can only talk to his discordant father "can't stand indifference, can't stand being a part of the world". Soderbergh repeats his good trick again---lie , they smugly told a string of lies, just like Dylan said in his autobiography that "politics is a cruel force", once involved, you can only be manipulated. The film deliberately reveals some realistic flaws, such as "The castle, the trial, the engagement and the breakup, the dispensation of the father's shadow, the writer, the closed character", reminds us. Music and rhythm are controlled here, making it impossible to breathe.

    Not to mention, Irons and Kafka have a good temperament, and the movie itself is quite sloppy. Soderbergh was really formidable.
