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 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 angles, expressionistic lighting, increasingIy surreaI locations—WelIes unleashed the fuIl force of his visual briIIiance to convey the nightmarish disorientation of a worId gone mad.
