Come join us for our Friday Film Fest for a viewing of Die Herrlichkeit des Lebens! June 3, 2024 was the 100-year anniversary of Kafka’s death. This is the latest movie about Kafka, based on the 2011 bestselling novel of the same title by Michael Kumpfmüller. It depicts the last year of the 40-year-old Kafka and his love affair with Dora Diamant, a 25-year-old kindergarten teacher from an orthodox Jewish family. He met her accidentally in the summer of 1923 in Graal-Müritz at the Baltic Sea, where he stayed for a vacation to seek healing for his laryngeal tuberculosis. They fell in love, and Kafka moved to Berlin to live with her.This year, Kafka’s popularity reached unprecedented levels with many German publications called it a “Kafka-Kult.” It presents an opportunity to view this movie on the background of his life and writings.
