Abstract

Close reading of the film Kafka (1991) by Steven Soderbergh with reference to the relationship between screenplay and film, to the relationship between internal intertextuality (screenplay) and external intertextuality (film) and to the film’s belonging to codified cinematographic genres, such as the German (expressionist) cinema of the 1920s and the Anglo-American film noir, as well as in relation to the genre of the so-called biopic.
