THE TRIAL: Orson Welles-directed Kafka adaptation. This is amazing. Wildly-angled noir atheology–one of the most consistent, and consistently persuasive, atheist movies I’ve ever seen. (In case you’re thinking of a film festival, off the top of my head I’d put Cube and maybe Nobody Knows on that list, for very different reasons.) Anthony Perkins is a shivery, wrong-jointed Joseph K, as uncomfortable as a snake trying to shed its skin. I honestly don’t know what to tell you except that it’s Welles without self-indulgence, and Kafka noir. If that doesn’t make you want to see it, I don’t know what will!
