名称:变形记 又名:Metamorphosis 年代:1975 类型:剧情 / 喜剧 / 奇幻 语言:德语 国家:奥地利 / 西德 导演:杨·涅梅茨 编剧:弗兰茨·卡夫卡 / 杨·涅梅茨 演员:海因茨·本奈特 / Zdenka Procházková / Edwige Pierre / Achim Strietzel / Tamara Kafka / Gunnar Holm-Petersen / Karl Renar / Alfred Baarovy / Herbert Klein / Dieter Kettenbach 剧情:Jan Němec's original proposal in 1966 to adapt Kafka's Metamorphosis as a theatrical feature was rejected by the Czech state film board. In 1974, he was forced into exile -- first seeking refuge in Germany: CER: What impact did emigration from Czechoslovakia have on you personally and professionally? JN: I have never emigrated. I was an exile. There is a very big difference. An emigrant is somebody who decides to leave the country, while an exile is chased away, like J A Komenský. In 1974, they wanted to put me in prison, but they gave me a choice, as with Milan Kundera. We were told that the criminal prosecution would be canceled if we applied for a legal departure motivated not by political protest but by a working contract. I took this offer and left the country legally, so I had a Czech passport for another two years. But it was not like traveling. I couldn't come back. If I had, they would have seized my passport and began the criminal prosecution all over again, and I would be in prison. After two years they stripped me of my citizenship. So I have never emigrated and I have never applied for political asylum. I was "stateless," with no citizenship or no legal papers.
Title:Die Verwandlung Year:1975 Genre:Comedy / Drama / Fantasy Language:German / Cookie Notice Country:Austria / West Germany Director:Jan Němec Writer:Franz Kafka / Jan Němec Actors:Heinz Bennent / Zdenka Procházková / Edwige Pierre Plot:An adaptation of Franz Kafka's classic story about Gregor Samsa, a man who awakes and sees himself suddenly turned into a repulsive insect that causes problems to his (at one time) beloved family, who find ways of getting rid off of him. The innovation from this film version is to tell the story from Gregor's perspective, and audiences are unable to see his current appearance.
