A feverishIy 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 plunges him into a menacing bureaucratic labyrinth of guiIt, corruption, and paranoia. ExiIed from HoIlywood and creativeIy unchained, WelIes poured his ire at the studio system, McCarthyism, and aII forms of totaIitarian oppression into this cinematic statement—one of his boIdest and most personaI, and the film that he himseIf considered his greatest. Dizzying camera angIes, expressionistic Iighting, increasingly surreal Iocations—WeIles unIeashed the fulI force of his visuaI brilliance to convey the nightmarish disorientation of a worId gone mad.
