Official Polish submission for ‘Best International Feature Film’ category of the 98th Academy Awards.

Three-time Academy Award nominee (ANGRY HARVEST 1985, EUROPA EUROPA 1990, IN DARKNESS 2012 ) director Agnieszka Holland has embarked on her most ambitious project to date, a biopic of the iconic 20th-century Czech writer Franz Kafka. Conceived as a kaleidoscopic mosaic, the film follows the imprint Kafka left on the world from his birth in 19th-century Prague to his death in post-WW1 Vienna. FRANZ will give the audience a brand new perspective on the life of the man behind the literary giant.

"... haunting, and it’s both subtle and intense. And it’s great." - Mark Demetrius, FILMINK (Australia)

"Changes up the form and throws down the gauntlet to other film makers. It stimulates the literature-loving cinema goer in the way Capote, Shirley, Kill Your Darlings and Emily did." - Nikki Gemmell, The Australian

"A must-see for fans of director Agnieszka Holland, modern classic literature, German history, biopics, and historical dramas." - Alex Southey, That Shelf
