There
are several timeless books that are really difficult to be presented in an adequate
manner on the big screen. One of those everlasting classics is „The trial” by
Franz Kafka. With its specific, gloomy and orwellesque atmosphere, it required a
visually strong director to successfully transfer it to celluloid.
Luckily,
Orson Welles
was one of those directors, capable of graphically exploit black and white
technique, modernistic production backdrops and visual effects to create claustrophobic
modern society that hunted and ran down Joseph K (magnificent Anthony Perkins)
to the ground. All the memorable scenes from Kafka’s novel will be there except
the very end, which is altered in a tradition of Second World War generation.
„The
Trial” is one of the best book adaptations in movie history and also one of the
most underrated ones.
