AKA Le procès
To the Novel by Franz Kafka
Directed by Orson Wells
Starring Andy Perkins, Orson Welles, Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider, Elsa Martinelli

[@zallesproductions]

I've never seen a more horrifying film. It is not that this picture is scary, but the fact that viewing it is an uncomfortable and displeasurable experience. That is the true genius of this picture, it's ability to frighten. It's not the entertainment that Welles offers but the experience of watching his films...

[@marlenasien8793]

Has there ever been a more perfect actor to play a literary character than Anthony Perkins playing Joseph K?

[@EyeLean5280]

Agreed.

Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch.

[@mountainbirder9872]

Anthony Perkins was also great as Peter in On The Beach 1959.

[@Jay121]

That's great considering he was gay in America when it meant something nefarious. The system, the system, the system.

[@davidw.2791]

NobodycallsmeLebowski Wells himself had said that “A gay man being surrounded by homophobia” is a great way to perceive the atmosphere of the novel, even if Kafka was thinking about totalitarianism in general.

[@dpohunter]

Surreal, nightmarish, visually stunning masterpiece.

[@hoomanhosseini8299]

And so real at the same time!

[@mariabrch8760]

The Orson Well's movie depicts exactly the deeper meaning and symbolism of Kafka' s book! Its greatness is based on the fact that still remains in time,despite the fact that it was written almost a century ago! Bureaucracy,corruption of the system of justice and the public sector,authoritarian and totalitarian regimes,state violence in all forms are phenomena that torture the central hero and also as a metaphor still torture numerous societies and countries in all over the world! Such a prophetic and full of wisdom novel! Its meanings are timeless and still hard to conceive them at their full scale...

[@mariabrch8760]

Budiman Budimen Ha ha, for sure Peter Seler's movie has much more fun than "The Trial"! But I totally recommend,if you have the chance,to read the original Kafka's book.Through his simple but also charismatic way of writing, he passes to the reader all his opinions, thoughts and problematics about the pathogenies of our society in all its sectors but I insist, with a totally simplistic way! He triggers the brain of the reader, without using complicated or incomprehensible meanings...!

[@herbpetrillo163]

Brilliant director that never got the credit and the break he deserved. Very few can put the term "Kafkaesque" to film and pull it off. Welles spent most of his career hustling and scrounging money for his projects, which is a damn shame. As Ebert put it, "he directed the greatest movie of all time, and the world never forgave him for it."

Orson Wells was a great director and a great social critic especially concerning the justice system which is like a kafkian adventure for the people who do not have money to hire a lawyer and also shows how difficult is to understanding it, it is just a satire of the justice system.

[@dabreu]

Much more than that.

[@Michael-te7fj]

Kafka, I lived it. Looking at the movie trailer it's exactly what it was like. Accused of having committed a sex crime against children but no one could quite say I was guilty or ever so much as looked at these children. I was jogging at a track and suddenly arrested. There was said to be DNA, but no swab was ever asked of me. At trial, which I forced as I would not give in, the mother said, "it's not as if he knew we were there." Asked, "did he make eye contact with you," the mother testified "not that I know of, we didn't have anything to do with each other." The charges were for crimes against the children, but the mother made the complaint and I wasn't charged with anything about her. The children were mentioned in the arrest report as having been present--that's it. I would go to trial without an accusation. The courts tried everything first to get me to help them destroy me. If found guilty at trial, I would be sentenced to state prison for three to five years and be forced to register as a sex offender. A nonsensical story about DNA was placed in the paper but again, no accusation was alleged, just innuendo. Everyone knew I was innocent, everyone, and it was like a speeding train that wouldn't stop unless I agreed to destroy myself for them. First they said regarding my felony charges, okay instead you can plea to something in municipal court as a disorderly persons charge and it's over, but you have to plead guilty. I said no. Then they offered to expunge the arrest, record it and seal it as an outright dismissal, and not ask me to make a plea whatsoever--but give them a 125-dollar court fee or face all the risks of a felony trial.They said, no one would ever know (meaning that it would have technically been a deal). They were asking me to lie. I had passed the polygraph test (not admissible but prosecutors use them), but they all knew from the beginning, I was not guilty, the judge said, "it's very rare that I get a case like this, I understand the principle of it" begging me to not go to trial--to give in to this Kafkaesque nightmare and sign on the dotted line and give them 125 dollars, or I would face a jury felony trial and if convicted, state prison. It was a Death Penalty case for me. The story in the press although it made no sense, mentioned girls six and nine, and DNA, and a panicked mom. The inmates would have killed me in state prison, would they have believed me if I said wait, look, here are the DNA results, "not detected." I don't know how to defend myself, I have no criminal record. They all, from the moment I was stopped and questioned, knew I wasn't guilty and they, the cops, the prosecutor, the woman, the judges couldn't quite say what it was that I was being accused of. I had no evidence to prove me innocent. I won at trial.I had been assigned a new judge and he all but ensured I would not be convicted explaining to the jury, the evidence is contradictory and said of the witnesses, "false in one, false in all," meaning they lied. But still, lied about what, they were all incoherent because among other weird things, there was not quite an accusation that I did anything. I cannot recover from this, who could? After the trial, I would secure a video tape that catches a mob forming, a 911 call of a woman who would tell police there's a man walking with himself exposed, yet when the police arrive, she says, "I hope I'm not 'a" crazy, I'd feel terrible if I'm wrong," about what has never been clear to me as she is recorded start to finish not discussing anything about a crime, or a man exposed and the police do not ask. They ask for my description, find me, arrest me, and the Kafka novel that is my life now begins. I am vindicated but so what. Shauna, when I am done with my litigation against the people who did this to me, I will send you my video--it's Kafka 2.0. My lawyer asked me to pull it for now. My story is stranger than Kafka's work.

[@marmencal]

GENIAL!!!

[@hoomanhosseini8299]

I can't explain my feelings about this movie and Kafka's astonishing novel. Since I was 14 (now Im 33and i watched this movie for the first time, I have been thinking that how this novel is close to the reality of our life. Kafka artistically depicts the existential issues that all of us facing with in our life. Bureaucracy and justice system are the main topics in Kafka's critical point of view in this novel. Still I am confused about some deep meanings implied by Kafka in this masterpiece.

[@gregor-samsa]

the answer is easy: Kafka was an Optimist.

[@dabreu]

Although bureaucracy and justice system are the main topics it goes deeper than that, It is everything around us...impossible to understand...I feel like this character all the time!

[@LinuxUser00]

It is less that they're the main topics and more a symbol for the anxiety and alienation in an industrialized modern civilization. The speed of economic life, communication and war changed dramatically in Kafka's lifetime.

[@hhdhhs6587]

the question is"what am i accused for? and who accuses me?"

[@KhoiBui69]

It is only a short jump from Kafka, Orwell, and Welles, to the films of Michael Haneke, and especially (in this instance) "Funny Games".
