die herrlichkeit des lebens (2024)

with kafka's 100th death day approaching this year, 2024 is full of new media about our favourite author.

@sepulkralkreatur and i watched yet another take on kafka's life:

"die herrlichkeit des lebens" (the glory of life) is a movie about kafka's last year, beginning at the baltic-sea and ending by the death-bed. it centers around kafka's romantic relationship to dora dymant and his outbreak from family and prague as a whole - with him moving to berlin. unfortunately, his tuberculosis progresses and he has to move to a sanatorium, where he looses the ability to speak, eat and drink - until he finally dies, with dora being next to him in his last moments.

i got to say, i feared that this movie might be full of kitsch and focus on romance rather than franz kafka - and my initial thought wasn't far from reality in the end - unfortunately.

while the kafka series had this darker and yet funnily-absurd touch to it (which was very fitting for him - kafkaesque!) and strictly followed every aspect of his life, the kafka-feeling in the movie was reduced to fragments of his writing, other people from his life and sporadically added biographical elements - like his illness.

all of this sounds so negative - but let's view the movie from a different perspective: maybe i shouldn't compare the series with the movie in the first place; the series included more facets of biography and had a larger variety of characters and themes - because it was intended to be a biopic.

the movie on the other hand, was based on a novel of the same name by michael kumpfmüller - which dealt with kafka's last year with dora. although having many biographical references, the novel still remains a form of fiction - which makes the movie more distant to the state of a biopic. we shouldn't view the movie as a biography, but rather as a romanticized adaptation of kafka's last year.

the movie features max brod, ottla and elli (kafka's sisters), as well as elli's husband karl hermann. although the characters make phone-calls with kafka's father - he isn't seen anywhere. he remains an oppressing, invisible power towards kafka throughout the whole movie. despite this being a possible, well done metaphor - i would have wished to see more of other characters, with more insight into their feelings in these hard times. but yet again - the movie wasn't made for this intent.

and it is worth considering, that not much is known about his time with dora, since her belongings, including possible letters and memories to franz, were confiscated by the gestapo in 1933. similiar to the legend about kafka's doll (which funnily enough was also mentioned in the movie, that was wholesome), fiction is there to close those holes in his life - and we have to be aware of the fictional nature to the movie.

although i am not the biggest fan of romance-movies and this one didn't necessarily scream "kafka" in your face - i enjoyed it. the actors did a great job and brought some sort of lightness with them. the sets and scenes were full of details and beautifully arranged, making it very lifelike. the following may sound a bit grotesque, but even the medical treatmant and dying-scene was done very realistically, making his suffering even more gruesome. and of course - my favourite thing: the metaphors. the hospital-beds at the beach instead of loungers made dreaming of freedom during a serious illness very impactful.

thank you henriette confurius (dora) and sabin tambrea (franz) for the movie and paying tribute to wonderful people 100 years ago!

'Die Herrlichkeit des Lebens' - schon jetzt mein Film des Jahres 2024! In wunderschönen Bildern wird die berührende Liebegeschichte zwischen Franz Kafka und Dora Diamant erzählt, die - obwohl sie nur ein Jahr Bestand hat und durch den Tod Kafkas ein tragisches Ende findet - so intensiv und lebensbejahend geschildert wird, dass sie auf mich einen tiefen Eindruck gemacht hat, der noch lange nachwirken wird, was vor allem am fantastischen Zusammenspiel von Sabin Tambrea und Henriette Confurius liegt (die sowieso mein Lieblings-Filmpaar sind). Man muss Kafka nicht mögen, um diesen Film zu lieben, aber man wird ihn nach dem Erleben dieser Geschichte mit anderen Augen sehen.

Unbedingte Guck-Empfehlung!

The Girl and the Spider

The Girl and the Spider [trailer]

Lisa is moving out. Mara is left behind. As boxes are shifted and cupboards built, abysses begin to open up and an emotional roller coaster is set in motion.

The summary sounds too dramatic, this is a strange little movie, in a good way. Taking place inside two, small apartments, filmed almost without any wide shots.

A little mysterious, but it still keeps you watching. Everyone seems to be flirting, longing for or being jealous of someone.

Kafka in Bild und Ton

Das Kafka-Jahr spielt auch abseits des strikt Literarischen eine zentrale Rolle. Zahlreiche Comics setzen Kafkas Leben und Werke in Text und Bild um. Sven Regener hat Kafkas Werk als Hörbuch eingelesen und für das Frühjahr sind eine Miniserie und ein Kinofilm angekündigt. Continue reading Kafka in Bild und Ton
