Nice one. The movie has some incredible cinematography, and the setting of a big abandoned French Railway station works startlingly well for the source material. It's a baffling movie, but I suppose that's the point. I'm a big Orson Welles fan so I suppose I'm a little biased when I praise it.
I've never read Kafka but I am familiar. You know what they say though "Never judge a book by its movie."
Do you believe that "everything happens for a reason"?

Right on, I've never seen the movie but I read the book. I once spent a whole summer reading nothing but Kafka.

I love Orson Wells too!
Metamorphosis is a book by Franz Kafka to start with. It's short and easy to read.

Thanks Rosie. If you love Orson Welles then you should watch it, it was the film he was most proud of.

Yes, I think I should. Also, wasn't there a movie called Kafka?
I guess I just like weird stuff.
