Synopsis

Orson Welles directs and appears in Kafka's classic tale of an ordinary man trying to make sense of a reality that is governed by inexplicable rules and unyielding machines of power. Anthony Perkins plays Joseph K. who is trapped in a corrupt judicial system, accused of an unspecified crime. In his efforts to understand the nature of his crime he finds himself caught in a nightmarish labyrinth of legal obfuscation and nonsensical double-talk. Shot in locations all over Europe, The Trial is probably Welles' visual masterpiece.
