Review of The Trial

The Trial (1962)
8/10
Visually amazing.
28 September 2023
A man wakes up to find he's accused of a crime. What crime? Who knows. He has to go meet judges, advocates, painters, weirdos, and oddballs in his search for the "law" and a way out.

This movie, while maybe not narratively clean (it's more like a nightmare of illogic) is fantastically inventive and amazing visually. There's a million creative shots and brilliant set ups and camera moves. Truly something else to see. A shame there's a few sync issues, but overall, once you get into the dream like logic of the movie and forget the idea of it "making sense" then you can really get into this tremendous adaptation.
