Franz & Kafka

Mattew SAVILLE

Australia1996 6min 16mm b&w

Synopsis

The story revolves around Ernst Franz, a talentless hack struggling with the opening sentence of his first novel, and more gifted ghost writer Jozef Kafka. Together, they uncover the difficult terrain that lies within the genius mind at work, and confront the surreal nightmare waiting within themselves, an insect-like monster called Gregor Samsa. This is Director Mattew Saville's third short film. Saville says that although he had read and enjoyed Kafka a great deal, this surreal journey into the suvconscious isn't about Franz Kafka but more about his inner thoughts.(Na Ho-Won)
