1962
Cast and Crew
Director : Orson WellesProducer : Alexander Salkind
Screenwiter : Orson Welles
Starring : Anthony Perkins,Arnoldo Foà,Jess Hahn,Jeanne Moreau
Welles' adaptation of Kafka's famous work is one of his most innovative and
bizarre, a trip through the surreal that would have done Kafka proud. Anthony
Perkins is a solid choice as Josef K., the protagonist who's accused of and
tried for a crime -- without ever being told what it is. His journey through
the dystopic justice system (though rambling) has as many modern day analogues
as ever, and The Trial's stunning visuals ensure you won't be able to look away.
Aka Le Procès.
