PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON NEW PERIOD SET MINI TV SERIES ON FRANZ KAFKA WITH JOEL BASMAN AND DAVID KROSS

 NEW FRANZ KAFKA SERIES 
COMING THIS EASTER TO ARD AND ORF
German national broadcaster ARD and the Austrian one ORF have teamed up on new Franz Kafka mini TV series titled simply KAFKA. The new six parter will start airing March 25th in the year that marks a hundred years since his death. Based on the three part Kafka biography by Reiner Stach, the series follows Kafka’s (Joel Basman) difficult relationship with his father (Nicholas Ofczarek) and his love affairs with Felice Bauer, Milena Jesenská (Liv Lisa Fries) and Dora Diamant, but also his close friendship with Max Brod (David Kross).
 
IN THE NEW MINI TV SERIES 
Kafka's vacation spot, already ravaged by tuberculosis, is transformed in his imagination into the dark and mythical village of his last and most famous novel, “The Castle”. But he also meets his last great love, Dora Diamant (Tamara Romera Ginés). The two lived in Berlin for a few months and spent Kafka's last days together in the Kierling sanatorium outside Vienna. Franz (Joel Basman) grew up as one of many children in a Jewish middle-class merchant family in Prague. He became enthusiastic about writing from an early age and wrote several texts. One of his best friends, Max Brod (David Kross), is his greatest admirer and encourages him to keep publishing his texts. He himself is a respected writer and full of energy and drive. He believes in Kafka's talent and drives him tirelessly. He is known for his many affairs and his warm-heartedness, which could hardly distinguish him from his shy friend.

  1. True. Kafka led such a short and tormented life, but he was well-loved and loved many women. They don't say that on his deathbed, he asked Max to burn his tales. Brod didn't comply and it is why we can enjoy Kafka's writing today.

  2. This is probably not something we’ll get there. I do like miniseries, so if my chance it makes its way here, I’ll probably tune in.
