A bunch of first images from different period set movies for you today, starting with THE CONVERT, a historical drama from Oscar winner Lee Tamahori in which Guy Pearce plays a lay preacher who arrives at a
British settlement at New Zealand in 1830s. His violent past is soon drawn into question and his faith put to the test, as he finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody war between Maori tribes.
THE GLORY OF LIFE
There
is also Franz Kafka biopic, a story of the famous Czech writer which is
being offered to buyers at Cannes. The love story between Kafka (Sabin
Tambrea) and Dora Diamant (Henriette Confurius) is set in 1923 on the
Baltic Sea coast, a year before the author died from tuberculosis. The
worldly
wise Diamant, who was working in a Jewish community, took him to
Berlin, and as Kafka’s health deteriorates rapidly, they traveled
together to a sanatorium in Austria. The memory of their time together
will shape Diamant for the rest of her life!
