Then the unthinkable happens - Lda is found dead. But who is the killer? Taking the part of Laszlo Kovacs after first choice Jean-Claude Brialy fell ill Belmondo gives an impressively restrained performance that in conjunction with his following film A bout de souffl set him on the road to stardom.
Orson Welles applied his unique directorial style to Kafka's classic work in this 1962 adaptation of The Trial. Anthony Perkins stars as Joseph K. an office clerk who gets arrested one day but is not told why. Welles used interesting techniques during filming such as pin-screen animation to emphasise the atmosphere of K's world. The result is a moving and atmospheric attempt to capture the essence of Kafka's original work.
