From @patrickfey.bsky.social's long takes to @wellvisky.bsky.social to @josephowen.bsky.social at the Black Nights to Jared Abbott on Queer Cinema to @nkouhi.bsky.socialon NYFF, here is the best writing of the year at Journey Into Cinema! journeyintocinema.substack.com/p/our-best-f...

OUT NOW 👇 Essay by @josephowen.bsky.social on adaptations of Kafka's 'The Trial' by Anmol Vellani (the play "Innocence") & Ed Harris (BBC radio drama): "Taken together, these recent adaptations reveal why The Trial endures as a critical touchpoint in the twenty-first century." tinyurl.com/3jxvpemx

Love this arts essay, not just re enduring power of Kafka's writing, but also for what an astute English scholar says re creativity in adaptation: in changing media "distinctive... grammars... transpose Kafka’s textual strategies" e.g. "aural dissonance, scenic abstraction or visual distortion" ⭐

I've written about Kafka for @law-and-humanities.bsky.social anities.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
