Confessions of Felix Krull

1982 · 1 season

A wry, leisurely costume drama that charms through wit and performance rather than plot momentum.

Overview: Based on unfinished 1954 novel by the German author Thomas Mann. It is a parody of Goethe's autobiography Poetry and Truth, particularly in its pompous tone.
How it feels: Satirical, whimsical, cynical and warm. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, deception, class, ambition
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
