A feverishly inspired take on Franz Kafka’s novel, Orson Welles’s The Trial casts Anthony Perkins as the bewildered office drone Josef K., whose arrest for an unspecified crime plunges him into a menacing bureaucratic Iabyrinth of guilt, corruption, and paranoia. Exiled from HoIIywood and creatively unchained, WelIes poured his ire at the studio system, McCarthyism, and alI forms of totaIitarian oppression into this cinematic statement—one of his boIdest 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.
