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).

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.The Island of the Dead

The corporation has invented a way to avoid death by recording people's lives. While gathering information and preparing for the job, David meets Ellie, with whom they slept together. However, Ellie is a member of a cult called Children of Ishtar, and David's job would interrupt their life-recording ceremony. Facing an obsessive dilemma, David tries to find a way to do his mission without killing Ellie. First, he tries to convince Ellie not to attend the ceremony, and then he hires a local crook to kidnap her while he does the job. After the successful job, Ellie frees herself from the kidnapper, discovers the truth, and leaves for Akkadia. Meanwhile, David calls to receive the rest of his payment but gets ambushed by the contractor.Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion
