Last night ITV3 (London) screened the film "Kafka" directed by Steven Soderbergh (1991) with Jeremy Irons, Joel Grey, Ian Holm and Alec Guinness. This extraordinary film about undesirables who were captured for medical experimentation with intended fatal results and returned to the morgue as suicides is set against the background of the sadistic and dehumanising corporate and governmental bureaucracy all too familiar to readers of Kafka. Not believing that these deaths were suicide, Kafka goes to the Castle encountering Dr Murnau who was running the experiments: Dr Murnau: You are at the very forefront of what is modern; you write about it; you document it. Unlike you though, I've chosen to embrace it. Dr Murnau: That's our biggest headache: trying to understand the human mind. Kafka: We have nothing in common. I've tried to write nightmares, and you've built one. Dr Murnau: The crowd is easier to control than the individual. The crowd has a common purpose. The purpose of the individual is always in question. Kafka: That's what you're trying to eliminate, isn't it? Everything that makes one human being different from another. But, you'll never, never reach a man's soul through a lens. Dr Murnau: That rather depends upon which end of the microscope you're on, doesn't it? His first film since "Sex, Lies and Videotapes" was billed as science fiction. It is anything but fiction. This is precisely what is happening and what has been done to me for the past five years 24/7. I've been a nonconsenting human guinea pig for surveillance R&D and medical experimentation which is ultimately lethal. Instead of suicide death results from natural causes due to the destruction of the human body burned out with medical experiments much like the Nazis. Steven Soderbergh captured truth and reality 15 years ago far more than anyone could possibly realise then and now. Sadism is the need of the powerless to gain complete control over another living being which this film portrays magnificently. I suggest this film will become a classic when the world catches up with it.
