Expressionism in it`s purest form

Overview

This movie expresses deep expressionism of the 20th century through it`s visuals and audio. What Kafka wanted to express in a whole 50 page book, we here expressed in 30 seconds. The so called Gregor Samsa (Samsa is actually a playword-Kafka) lays himself to sleep, as he is supernaturally awoken, through pain and angst, as an insectoid. He can now only be engulfed by this horror and scream himself only to fall asleep yet again (forever).

'GIVE IT UP!'

Jul 5, 2025

The film adaptation of Kafka’s Gibs Auf! is a live-action animation surrealist odyssey through the confusion of life in the modern world. The director’s deeply personal and referential work preserves Kafka’s absurdism and pays homage to Weimar cinema of the 1920s, but elevates the text to an existential meditation on authority, purpose and human helplessness. Put simply, it is a cinematic magnum opus that triumphs on all fronts.
