First Trailer for Intriguing New Kafka Film ‘Mr. K’ Starring Crispin Glover

“The hotel is shrinking!” This film premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival and will be touring festivals before it opens sometime in 2025. From director Tallulah, Mr. K is another new Kafka story to get lost in. “Crispin Glover brings his best to Tallulah’s delightfully Kafkaesque tale of a traveling magician who finds himself in a hotel full of unusual guests — with no way out.” After spending the night in a remote hotel, Mr. K is stuck in a claustrophobic nightmare when he discovers that he can’t leave the building. Glover stars with the ensemble cast featuring Sunnyi Melles, Fionnula Flanagan, Bjørn Sundquist, Dearbhla Molloy, Barbara Sarafian, Jan Gunnar Røise, Esmée van Kampen, & Sam Louwyck. TIFF teases more: “Though Glover’s Mr. K expresses admirable patience and fortitude in the face of many curveballs, he inevitably starts to come undone. Conversely, Schwab grows ever more exacting in her control of the film’s unabashedly peculiar tone. Evocative of the early hits of Jean-Pierre Jeunet & Marc Caro and the hotel nightmares of Stanley Kubrick & David Lynch, the ingenious visual design is another reason that Mr. K is well worth getting lost in.” Excellent poster (below), intriguing trailer, I’m definitely curious to watch this. // Continue Reading ›
