Confessions of  Felix Krull (Germany 2021) by Detlev Buck, written with Daniel Kehlmann, based on the novel by Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann, with Jannis Niewöhner (Munich), Liv Lisa Fries (Babylon Berlin), David Kross (The Reader)

Adaptation of a classic of world literature: A handsome youth of humble origins rises to the top, helped by his dazzling appearance as well as his ability to manipulate others.
"Never has a Thomas Mann adaptation been more sensual or looked better. It is great fun to watch Fries and Kross, and especially Jannis Niewöhner, youthful, always a bit doe-eyed, prancing through this story of inner development.” —Die Welt
"Buck's Krull is the gin and tonic among Thomas Mann adaptations.” —Süddeutsche Zeitung
