Story
In 'Bad Director' (2024), we follow Gregor Samsa, a once-thriving director now in his late fifties and past his prime. As he looks back on his life, he finds little joy in having spent it as a cultural worker in the film industry. The movie explores Samsa's introspective journey as he grapples with his faded glory and wasted opportunities.
Summary
'Bad Director', directed by Oskar Roehler in 2024, is a comedic-drama based on the themes of literary adaptation and self-reflection. Set against the backdrop of the film industry, it delves into themes of career decline, regret, and redemption through its protagonist Gregor Samsa. Despite being a fictional character from Franz Kafka's novella 'The Metamorphosis', Samsa's story is adapted to reflect the struggles of a washed-up filmmaker.
