Based on the 1924 short story by Franz Kafka, A Hunger Artist is the darkly-comic tale of an entertainer acclaimed for his ability to fast. A lush adaptation, A Hunger Artist understands the delicate tone of Kafka’s work: fiercely anti-authoritarian, constantly self-effacing, and toeing the line between hilarious and heartbreaking.
