CRITICS OF "The Trial"

Film Threat

Orson Welles' bounced Czech, via Kafka. Not the masterpiece that many Welles fanatics claim, but intriguing and outrageous enough for genuine appreciation.

July 27, 2007

Time Out

The blackest of Welles' comedies.

February 09, 2006

Resource

Parallax View

The legal system is a literal maze in Welles' visualization and the disparate locations all lead back to one another.

June 20, 2015

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

Above all a visual achievement, an exuberant use of camera placement and movement and inventive lighting.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Film4

Labyrinthine, stylized and tragicomic, this adaptation of Kafka's novel sees Welles at his funniest, and his most despairing.

February 29, 2012

Empire Magazine

Overwhelmingly bleak, but exciting cinema.

Cinemania

While not exactly Kafka, every inch of it is most certainly Welles

June 19, 2006

TV Guide

Welles applied his bravura directorial style to Kafka's landmark 1925 novel about Joseph K (Perkins), an office clerk who gets arrested without being told why.

San Francisco Chronicle

The more Joseph tries to understand, the more impenetrable it becomes.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Chicago Reader

Though debatable as an adaptation of the Franz Kafka novel, Orson Welles's nightmarish, labyrinthine comedy of 1962 remains his creepiest and most disturbing work; it's also a lot more influential than people usually admit.

April 06, 2007

Resource

New York Times

At best, it is another demonstration of the camera vers atility of Mr. Welles; at worse, a further Kafka demonstration extending to the demanding medium of the screen.

May 10, 2005

Village Voice

The Trial is splendid to look at and teeming with ideas about the individual, society, and of course, film itself.
