あらすじ
1919年、プラハ。カフカ(ジェレミー・アイアンズ)は昼は労働者災害保険協会で事務員として働き、夜は小さな屋根裏部屋で小説を書く、単調な毎日を送っていたが、ある夜数少ない友人だった同僚が失踪、ただひとりで調査を開始した。しかし、同僚の恋人ガブリエラ(テレサ・ラッセル)は奇妙なことにそんな男は知らないと言い、カフカを誘惑する。その夜遅く、カフカは突然呼び出されて死体置き場で友人の遺体を確認、グルーバック刑事(アーミン・ミューラー・スタール)は自殺と断定するが、カフカは強い疑問を抱く。次の夜、彼はガブリエラに誘われてアナーキストの集会に出席、友人が医療記録部門のミスで、街を監視するようにそびえる_城_に呼び出されていたことを知る。彼らに_城_の秘密を探るため、調査を依頼されたカフカは事務所長(アレック・ギネス)を訪ね、記録のすべてが、_城_に送られていることを発見する。しかし、カフカがアナーキストたちの集会場へ行くと、彼らは全員殺されていた。翌日深夜、協会で残業していたカフカは、窓を破って侵入してきた不気味な笑う男に襲われ、家に逃げ帰る途中で2人の男に銃をつきつけられて城へ連行されそうになる。間一髪、カフカはビズルベック(ジェローン・クラッベ)と名乗る男に助けられ、墓地にある城への秘密の通路を聞き出す。潜入に成功したカフカが見たものは、複雑に入り組んだ事務所のような、官僚主義の悪夢そのものの迷宮だった。そして、医療部門の責任者ムルナウ博士(イアン・ホルム)こそが一連の事件の真犯人であり、巨大な顕微鏡を使って人間の脳を研究、笑顔で従順に働く改造人間を開発していたのだった。ガブリエラもいつの間にか捕らえられて、まさに改造されようとしていた。カフカはやっとのことで博士の手下から逃れ、博士は混乱の中で自滅するが、城の機構はあまりにも巨大であり、カフカは再び単調な日常に戻っていくほかなかった。 Auteur : mitaka6tulip Tags: カフカ KAFKA Steven Soderbergh スティーヴン・ソダーバーグ  | | Franz Kafka - 487 sec Franz Kafka

The paintings of Jacob Porat converse with Kafka on the backdrop of Kafka's home city -- Prague - in a multi-layer "correspondence". One layer is Porat's paintings. The second consists of photographed sites in Prague. The third includes pen drawings made by Kafka, and the fourth depicts Kafkaesque situations taken from Kafka's works. And the fifth layer is that of the viewer, who draws near the paintings to look and reveal the worlds hidden inside, one on top of the other, one coming out of the other. The longer one looks at the paintings, the more details are discovered and layers excavated, the complexity of the worlds depicted proliferates and deepens. The viewers bring themselves to the paintings. However, the more versed they are in Porat's artistic world, the more real their familiarity with Prague, and the more they feel at home in Kafka's works, the more responsive they become to the paintings. They can then interpret them by peeling off layer after layer of the open meaning, of a symbol never fully construed.
Jacob Porat is distinguished by his search for different, various forms of expression. The exhibitions he has held throughout the years expose the constant and changing elements of his works in all possible aspects: techniques, compositions, and themes. Although evident in his work, his literary education does not make his paintings an illustration of literary writings. Rather, it serves as the driving force of the painting, an enabler of deeper expression and intricacy of the visual statement. Porat's paintings have a life of their own, and these lives have been an integral part of his works since he has begun painting to date. His works in general, and "Conversations with Kafka" in particular, strike a correct balance between the "painting instinct", which is based on intuition and talent and the intellect that is aware of itself and of the literary interpretation of themes.
Porat's continuous pursuit is associated with his unsteady, difficult and diverse childhood, his search for Jewish and Israeli identity, his assimilation of past events and family history, as well as of Israeli present and society and his place in them. His standing within several artistic branches -- painting, literature, music, and photography -- allows him to assemble the special of each, creating a unity of contradictions.
The Kafkaesque figure in Jacob Porat's series of Kafka paintings stands opposite the closed gate, waiting for it to open. Made of ornate iron or arched stone at the entry to a house or wall, the gate is concrete, realistic, and traceable to specific buildings in Prague. The Kafkaesque figure is part of the gate, swallowed into it, protruding from it or entangled in its twists. However, it is also the metaphorical gate found inside any person as well as in one's relations with other people and the world. This is a gate, which at the same time blocks the road and a personal gate designated only for the person standing opposite it.
The tall and thin Kafkaesque figure is placed in a huge church space, hovering against colorful vitrage, always conflicting with authority: the Father-God. Yet another extension of the figure is positioned in the space inside a fence-cage, like a culprit in court. This is a conflict between Judaism and Christianity, between man and superior forces that turn a deaf ear, between man and the law enforcing authorities. This conflict is open to additional conflicts and interpretations, which the paintings offer their viewers.
The paintings are a splendid aesthetic expression of a world of nightmares, of frightful dreams becoming concrete, of the encounter between madness and nightmare and the logical, sane, and clear. They manifest art's exclusive ability to unify conflicts and contradictions, to express lunacy by aesthetic means, and to concurrently depict contradictory situations: terror and beauty, colorful loneliness, styled nightmare, terrestrial hovering, and life growing out of death.
This exhibition is yet another brick in the glorious buildings of paintings inspired by literature and juxtaposing these two realms of art. It is an interpretive, principle confrontation between the worlds of literature and painting, and between the worlds of Kafka and Jacob Porat. However, more than anything else, it is a confrontation with the world of the readers-viewers -- their way of deciphering Kafka's works on the background of Prague and their comprehension of Kafka paintings by Jacob Porat.

Franz Kafka in Love:
"Kafka's own love life with two ladies in particular, Felice Bauer and Grete Bloch...
Felice Bauer
"and there were his letters to Felice Bauer, the Jewish girl he fell in love with and 'made love to' via letter over a period of two years, supplemented by his letters to her friend, with whom he also fell in love.
Kafka had met Felice Bauer in Berlin in 1912. Over the next two years, he would exchange dozens and dozens of letters with her, some of them extremely intimate, if not classically romantic. Kafka twice became engaged to Felice, despite being wholly unattracted to her sexually.
Enter Grete Bloch, Felice's best friend, whom she sent over to Prague to sort Kafka out, and with whom he began an affair that went far beyond the exchange of letters. Wracked with guilt, he eventually confessed his unfaithfulness to Felice - in fact, the two women put Kafka "on trial" in a hotel room in Berlin, with his steamy letters to Grete providing the damning evidence they needed for a "conviction."
It was after his grilling in that Berlin hotel room that Kafka began writing The Trial. At the age of thirty, he again became engaged to Felice, yet wrote in his diary that in doing so, he felt "bound hand and foot, like a criminal."
The story of Kafka's real life trial at the hands of Felice Bauer and Greta Bloch, set against the narrative of the novel, says Paul Bentley, in part explains Josef K.'s mysterious attraction to the character "Fraulein Burstner."
Kafka and Felice Bauer
"There's no doubt that the two girls turn up in the novel; there's no question of it. When you realise that Fraulein Burstner is Felice, his fiancée, who tore him to pieces at this trial, this pseudo 'trial' in the hotel room, and read damning extracts from his letters to the other girl and so forth, and that the pair of them destroyed him, then you realise why Josef K, on the way to the quarry, loses the will to live; because, you know, he [Kafka] was simply a broken man after that trial." "
FRANZ KAFKA IN LOVE:
"During his life Kafka had many girlfriends, many affairs, and a number of broken engagements. In 1912 he met Felice Bauer, a twenty-four-year-old businesswoman from Berlin. He warned her that life with him would mean ''a monastic life side by side with a man who is fretful, melancholy, untalkative, dissatisfied and sickly.'' Their relationship lasted for five years. Felice later moved to the United States, where she died in 1960."
"Julie Wohryzek , daughter of a synagogue servant, * 1891-1944 January 1919 Franz Kafka meets Julie Wohryzek in a pension (pension Stuedl) in Schelesen [ Zelezná ] (noerdl. v. Prague), in which it is for recovery. October/November. 1919 Planned marriage fails, because an intended dwelling was otherwise assigned. 6.Juli 1920 Last well-known meeting"
Milena Jesenska.-
"She was not the first woman in Kafka's life, and he tried to be objective about their future together:
"I've been engaged twice (three times, if you wish, that's to say twice to the same girl), so I've been separated three times from marriage by only a few days. The first one is completely over...the second is without any prospect of marriage..."
He wanted to marry, he explained, but feared it would affect his writing. For Kafka, marriage was not a way out of loneliness but a vision of security, a vocation in itself:
"Marrying, founding a family, accepting all the children that come, supporting them in this insecure world and perhaps even guiding them a little, is I am convinced, the utmost a human being can succeed in doing at all."
Part of the love letter dated Nov 11, 1912, from Kafka to Felice Bauer:
"Write to me only once a week, so that your letter arrives on Sunday -- for I cannot endure your daily letters, I am incapable of enduring them. For instance, I answer one of your letters, then lie in bed in apparent calm, but my heart beats through my entire body and is conscious only of you. I belong to you; there is really no other way of expressing it, and that is not strong enough. But for this very reason I don't want to know what you are wearing; it confuses me so much that I cannot deal with life; and that's why I don't want to know that you are fond of me. If I did, how could I, fool that I am, go on sitting in my office, or here at home, instead of leaping onto a train with my eyes shut and opening them only when I am with you? Oh, there is a sad, sad reason for not doing so. To make it short: My health is only just good enough for myself alone, not good enough for marriage, let alone fatherhood. Yet when I read your letter, I feel I could overlook even what cannot possibly be overlooked."
