The Trial Reviews

    Ah

    A textbook classic of film noir, the director's most proud work. A lengthy conversation with so much information that I can't accept it. I have to praise Wells for being a genius. Can the movie still play like this? The relationship between man and the environment is so accurately grasped by him...

    I haven't read the original, just came to analyze it blindly

    I thought, as the title says, it was a nightmare. The scene of hundreds of people typing in the office is a copy and paste of reality. Many scenes in the film are so grand and illogical that they seem to be an enlargement of reality. Citizen k is always at the center of interpersonal relationships,...

    [Film Review] The Trial (1962) 7.7/10

    Orson Welles' modern interpretation of Franz Kafka's posthumously published eponymous novel, THE TRIAL opens with a pin-screen animation of the author's parable “Before the law”, which encapsulates the keynote of his pessimistic take on the nature of our society's involute law system: shutting down...

    Hell night, God like Wells

    Romy Schneider Retrospective, Great Light Hall 1, 2k Restoration, 8.6 points "Today, mother died. Maybe yesterday. I don't know." - Camus 1, only like Orson Welles Only geniuses can boldly put impossible adaptations on the screen and turn "Trial" into a movie, just like composing a movement for...

    baffling

    For the first time, I didn't understand a movie at all. At first, I thought the protagonist was dreaming like "Vanilla Sky", until he was killed, and the subtitles came out. The whole movie is inexplicable, the only actor I know is Anthony Hopkins, the inexplicable court, the inexplicable plot, the...

    trial

    McKee's assertion that Kafka's story would be lost in film, but Orson Welles completely overturns this judgment with this film. The grotesque and indifferent atmosphere and the boundless despair are all created and handled just right. The coldness and helplessness scattered between the words in the...

    Orson Welles' personal understanding of Mr. K

    As a film based on Kafka's original novel of the same name, I don't really like it, at least in some ways, it doesn't quite match my understanding of the original novel, but I do greatly admire Orson Welles for making this extremely The courage to put a personal work on the movie stage, (it is...

    Thinking of the difference between the movie and the original

    Behemoths can be seen everywhere in movie scenes, including square-style courts, towering doors, buildings, and neatly organized labor, while individuals are often placed under the giants, appearing extra small and oppressive. These giants, I would like to understand as "order", especially the...

    "Judgment" is actually a contrast

    What struck me most about the film "The Trial" was the contrast it created, and it was this contrast that added to the absurdity of the story and its irony.

    Maybe because I didn't know about the movie in advance, I was a little surprised to see its black and white picture when it was first shown. I...

    An absurdly crazy but omnipresent legal world

    This movie is really depressing. Whether it is the black and white images, the use of light and shadow, or the slightly dizzying lens transitions, I even felt physical discomfort at one point during the viewing process.

    I dare not say that I understand the movie 100%. The beginning and the end of...
