Metamorphosis

“Metamorphosis is a film adaptation of Franz Kafka’s iconic novella of the same name. Please enter the site to find out more about the film, the novella and Franz Kafka himself”.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is the author of three unfinished novels, Der Prozeß (The Trial), Das Schloß (The Castle) and Amerika as well as numerous shorter works, including Das Urteil (The Judgement), Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor), In der Strafkolonie (In the Penal Settlement) and Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis or The Transformation). Very few of these works were published in Kafka’s lifetime, and when he died of tuberculosis shortly before his forty-first birthday, he was virtually unknown outside his home city of Prague. Just before his death, he asked his closest friend, Max Brod, to destroy everything he had written. Fortunately, Brod did not carry out Kafka’s wishes but set about meticulously editing and publishing all the manuscripts he could find and, in doing so, ensured Kafka’s massively influential literary legacy. Yet despite his world-wide posthumous fame and reputation, the only works of Kafka to be made into feature films have been The Trial and The Castle. This is the first attempt to bring Metamorphosis to the big screen.
