Synopsis

K, based on Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, is fragmented and collage-like, and stunningly avant-garde, evoking the experimental language of early cinema and German Expressionism. An impressionistic, angular portrait of a city as experienced by an outsider, London appears strange, unfamiliar and unforgiving. The camera searches hungrily for different glimpses of the city, from the highest rooftops to the streets.
