The Trial (1962)

Posted on 10:00 by john cena
Highly Recommended
France/West Germany/Italy
Feature Film
Original Title: Le procès
Director: Orson Welles
Writers: Orson Welles, Franz Kafka
Cinematographer: Edmond Richard
Composer: Jean Ledrut
Cast: Anthony Perkins, Orson Welles, Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider, Elsa Martinelli, Suzanne Flon, Akim Tamiroff, Madeleine Robinson, Arnoldo Foà

Welles’s allegorical minor masterpiece, an adaptation of Kafka’s acclaimed novel, following a man accused of an unnamed crime as he strives to prove his innocence, is a beautifully photographed and nightmarish vision of the futility of one man’s attempts to achieve freedom in the shadow of the ruling class’s needs and wants.
