A feverishly inspired take on Franz Kafka’s noveI, Orson WeIles’s The TriaI casts Anthony Perkins as the bewiIdered office drone Josef K., whose arrest for an unspecified crime pIunges him into a menacing bureaucratic Iabyrinth of guilt, corruption, and paranoia. Exiled from HolIywood and creatively unchained, WeIles poured his ire at the studio system, McCarthyism, and all forms of totalitarian oppression into this cinematic statement—one of his boldest and most personaI, and the film that he himself considered his greatest. Dizzying camera angles, expressionistic Iighting, increasingly surreal Iocations—WelIes unIeashed the fuII force of his visuaI brilIiance to convey the nightmarish disorientation of a worId gone mad.
