The Trial Comments

Yet another Olsen masterpiece. The dark, cramped set is nightmarishly suffocating. This is not only an adaptation of Kafka's The Trial, but Orwell's...

It's well done, but doesn't have the essentials of Kafka's novel style at all. Wells' flamboyant directing style that always emerges technically expressive is not suitable for adapting Kafka at all. Kafka's novels are monolithic, dry, dense, cold, and strong self-destructing language. Logic constructs a real but unnatural structure; in fact, it cannot be visualized at all. In addition, the overall performance of this film is also shitty,...

Kafka wrote about little people who died like dogs, machines that followed the so-called fate, and ghosts without consciousness facing death to the end. It is said that Kafka's writings will make people laugh, and make friends and themselves. He also laughed non-stop, he wrote a comedy, but would Welles be willing to be laughed at? He has to rehearse the drama in his heart from beginning to end. Welles is a victim who can't save himself and is not to be outdone. This showman consciously...

1. Orson Welles rewrote the boredom and absurdity of Kafka’s original work (partly out of linguistic form, partly out of K’s repeated but hopeless fate) into an expressionism overflowing with madness and fear intense images. 2. Excellent environment and space creation: ①A space that is too narrow or crowded—a bedroom with doors and windows on three sides, a courtroom with three floors inside and three floors outside and a uniform response of audiences, and a neat and dense screw-type The office...

The collaboration between Orson Welles and Anthony Perkins is crazy, it's basically a "horror" movie. The importance may be greatly underestimated. It inherits the post-war ruins scene in "The Third Man", and blends in the feeling of doomsday in the new suburbs of France. It may directly inspire Godard's "I Know Her One or Two" and "A Little About Her". Alpha City. An all-encompassing booze bottle, Shakespeare, Kafka, Expressionism, Hitchcock. Finally back to the former Lumiere's slide trick,...

The majestic modernist building is crowded with people like ants, and the oppressive feeling in the shady set gradually increases until it suffocates. Orson Welles sits on the left with Kafka and on the right with Orwell. The individual and the system are as different as the sky and cannot compete. K keeps circling outside the door, but the darkness inside the door of the law is like a fable. He can't break free even in his...

@大館JC CUBE | Technically flawless, Perkins's lanky appearance and eccentric alienation are not bad, and the cast also has Romy Schneider and Jeanne Moreau. However, Kafka's spirit and energy only appeared briefly in a few bright moments at most (K's shadow near the end/K was hit on the wall by the dwarfed shadow of the three people who held him from left and right). After reading and watching the absurdity of Eastern Europe, I deeply feel that this kind of subject should be left to others to...

The first movie of the year that makes me want to call God's work! Orson Welles and Kafka are a match made in heaven. From judicial trial to judicial trial, the whole movie is like a grotesque magic flower rising from the soil of the system, and the continuous spatial transformation conveys little people. The destiny is crazy. Ah ah ah suddenly madly infatuated with Perkins! (When I watched "Psycho", I obviously had no feelings for...

If the adapted movie restores 70% of the novel, I feel like I don't even understand 50% of the movie. When I watched "Castle", I wondered if Kafka had a "pit" in his brain. From the projection of words to images, this kind of pit instantly enlarged and was powerless to resist. But understanding Kafka's "K" seems to have an aura, referring to Zhou Muyun's and Wong...

The announcer of the law, the gatekeeper of the door of the law, and the lawyer in the backyard of the court, of course, means that he is the "director" of a trial in...
