About This Movie

KFK, from 2010, is this intriguing short that reimagines Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis' through a unique lens. The entire film is done with puppets, which gives it this raw, almost gritty aesthetic, quite fitting for a story about transformation and existential dread. You're watching Gregorio's drab life get turned upside down, and the pacing feels just right for the horror elements to sink in. What’s fascinating is the use of recycled materials; it adds a layer of authenticity and a sort of haunting beauty to the visuals. The puppetry is expressive, and there's something unsettling about seeing these familiar themes played out in such an unusual medium. It definitely stands apart in the animation realm.
