Director: Vladimír Michálek
Vladimír Michálek’s feature debut offers an unconventional take on Franz Kafka’s novel, visually echoing Karel Zeman’s classic films. He reshapes the bleak tale of a man’s futile search for belonging in a rigid society, swapping Kafka’s grim ending for a hopeful one. The film also gives Czech comic Jirí Lábus a new role as the tyrannical uncle of protagonist Karel Rossman (Martin Dejdar).
