Joseph K. awakes one morning, to find two strange men in his room, telling him he has been arrested. Joseph is not told what he is charged with, and despite being "arrested," is allowed to remain free and go to work. But despite the strange nature of his arrest, Joseph soon learns that his trial, however odd, is very real, and tries desperately to spare himself from the court's judgement.

i mean it could’ve been worse but you just can’t do a kafka adaption with an overly dramatic soundtrack and have every character do an english accent kyle maclachlan makes a perfect josef k though they exaggerated his anger issues a bit

Rewatch- still don’t know what the fucks happening, and buying the book didn’t help. Not feeling very Kafka-esque
Also rewatched to celebrate Kyle Maclachlan being on Letterboxd
