The Trial
*Franz Kafka's "The Trial" is a novel that is notoriously difficult to visualize, given the classic nature of this signature Kafkian absurdism. However, I feel that this film truly managed to bring to life the exact imagery I had in mind while reading the book. It successfully created the world I believe Franz Kafka wanted to show us :absurd, chaotic, and completely devoid of morality.
Anthony Perkins delivers a brilliant performance as Josef K., which genuinely impressed me.
I also highly appreciate how faithfully the film respected Kafka's novel, even though the ending was changed compared to the one I read.
In conclusion, congratulations to Mr. Orson Welles for creating this masterpiece inspired by yet another masterpiece.
