Kafka

I was doing some research and found that there are several different films related to Kafka.

-In 1987 Jim Goddard filmed Metamorphosis, a version for TV starring Tim Roth as Gregor Samsa, based on Steven Berkoff's stage adaption.
-In 1993 Carlos Atanes directed The Metamorphosis of Franz Kafka, a controversial adaptation based on The Metamorphosis as well on biographical details from Kafka's family.
-In 2007 filmmaker Ari Mark adapted the story into a 13 minute version in which main character Stanley Leiber awakens with a sharp pain in his skull and discovers that he has been profoundly transformed during the night.
-Limor Diamante wrote and will direct Metamorphosis, which weaves together the celebrated tale of a man who transforms into a giant bug with a parallel account of Kafka's heartbreaking writing process.
-In 2009 an experimental film tells the story entirely from Gregor’s subjective point of view with the help of a unique special spherical camera system
