Brilliantly capturing the oppressive paranoia of Franz Kafka"s classic novel, Orson Welles" "The Trial" is the story of a young clerk, Josef K., who is arrested, tried and finally executed--all without ever knowing his crime. Welles filmed this baroque work of genius in a deserted Belle Epoque railway station in Paris. The strange setting perfectly captures the bizarre and nightmarish world of Kafka"s mythical totalitarian state.
