Kafka For Kids (2022) by Israeli artist Roee Rosen is set as the pilot episode for a TV series that perversely aims to make Kafka’s tales palpable for toddlers. The story delivered in this first episode is The Metamorphosis.
While the tale of Gregor Samsa's transformation into a vermin is rendered in animation, the reading of the story occurs in live action, in the magical story-house, where an unnamed grandparent figure reads the story to a child, surrounded by a troupe of lively objects, such as Ms. Lamp and Mr. Table. These animistic friends dub the tale's characters, and perform the film's songs, accompanied by a toy orchestra. As the plot thickens, the ensemble is joined by other mascots, such as The Bearer of Bad News, who, true to his name, delivers with each of his visits a disastrous development, the first of which is the fact that Kafka himself prohibited visual depictions of the vermin.
The centrality of the law in Kafka’s writings and thought, and the notions of childhood that are explored in the film lead towards its end to a very different narrative realm: an exposition of the complex and troubling ways in which childhood is legally circumscribed in the occupied territories by military law.
i think the funniest thing someone with boobs could do is to get tattoos that look exactly like top surgery scars and if anyone ever asks respond with a different cryptic non-answer each time
some suggestions:
yeah that didn’t stick
i changed my mind
do NOT get top surgery at claire’s they will fuck your shit up
i’m like prometheus. every day i chop these bad boys off and every night they fucking grow back just to spite me
i got bored and glued them back on myself
etc etc
