Beautiful rendering of Kafka's original dialogue and scenery. Love the street scenes of Old Town Prague.

I love how they just follow the book, not try to make some stupid improvisation we love kafka books as they are And this is 100 % an adaptation

When a story changes mediums it may be subject to changes - those changes are not improvisations. Its not an artists responsibility to create a 100% canonical retelling of source material (frankly thats impossible). Its their responsibility to make a good film, show, play, whatever it may be and they reserve the right to do so in the way they see fit, of course implying they have the rights to be making an adaptation in the first place. Its their art. If you want the source material then you read the source material.

No film can capture how this book plays in my mind -- film always reduces things to one meaning, one gesture....

This movie, together with Le ballon rouge, was Wes Anderson's inspiration for the French Dispatch

Brilliant adaptation of the novel. Really, really great work.

The soundtrack is most impressive, I believe it's called "A Floggin' in the Key of K" Found on most streaming platforms etc

He saw how a light flickered on and the two halves of a window opened out, somebody, made weak and thin by the height and the distance, leant suddenly far out from it and stretched his arms out even further. Who was that? A friend? A good person? Somebody who was taking part? Somebody who wanted to help? Was he alone? Was it everyone? Would anyone help? Were there objections that had been forgotten? There must have been some. The logic cannot be refuted, but someone who wants to live will not resist it. Where was the judge he’d never seen? Where was the high court he had never reached? He raised both hands and spread out all his fingers. But the hands of one of the gentleman were laid on K.’s throat, while the other pushed the knife deep into his heart and twisted it there, twice. As his eyesight failed, K. saw the two gentlemen cheek by cheek, close in front of his face, watching the result. “Like a dog!” he said, it was as if the shame of it should outlive him.

@@b.c.vincent9690 K. is referring to the people up in the balcony/gallery like in 29:52. They're already shooting on location, and it would cost a fortune to lower the entire ceiling just for a few shots.

1:02:30 onwards. "Make a full confession as as a soon as you can to a crime that everyone knows about. Everyone but the person who is accused if the crime." Otherwise I can't help you" The helper are many but they don't seem help themselves from their own helplessness. Nightmare! What's this young pretty woman doing in here wasting her time while she should be living her prime time on earth. When all her veins are flowing with clean blood. She is in some bondage. Luck of stimulation that brings abundance to ones life. Creating memories at planting seeds to watch their fruition in her old age. The others too in the advent of this story. It makes me reflect on the story of the snake, the fruit from the tree that's in the middle of the garden of Eden, the challenge of communication with a snake that would normally not be a norm but somehow happens and creates a life long trial that no one can clarify where the responsibility lies for who or worse how to get out of the loop. It's maddening! 🤣 The whipping, Imagine the job to whip other for a career? How sad are some of we humans? Most of us just do crap without questioning our thoughts. An to to know that this does happen without a doubt is insane.

In German this double meaning is much clearer: being "verhaftet" means both "being arrested" and "having your mind stuck to something".

Nothing works as an observer. You cannot see the seer. Only algorithm your reality.

Seems to be about the futility of playing along with a system that arbitrarily decides to destroy you for no good reason on their terms.

This is so wild. I do not know wtf is going on, but I'm intrigued by it. I mean, "you are being arrested, so I get to eat your breakfast." wtf!

This is one of those rare movies that follow the book exactly, start to finish. Try the audiobook version. It's worth it, I promise.

The cinematic depiction of the novel doesn't work well, in my opinion. Kafka's story is cerebral gymnastics; it requires the full effort of the imagination. This movie does the heavy lifting for you, in terms of the interpretation of ideas tabled in the novel. While that may be convenient, it is far less stimulating. In reading the book you are a participant. In watching this portrayal you become a passive observer.

So true. The images you create in your head while reading the book are so complete and detailed. In the film, one has that taken away and replaced by these strange persons. If you have not read the book you will not experience this. But one thing is true, the book takes you with it. The smells especially of everything that is going on in those rooms where there is so much brain work taking place to no avail. Can I suggest also "The couple at No 9 by Daphne" It's a murder mystery? I audio read mine here.

Well, i would imagine most people who searched for movie already read the book, so i agree with you that read the book is better, and i assume most of the viewers did read. As for me, i would agree that it takes much efforts to read it, and honestly i am not sure i understood it, although reading it 3 times (as well as the castle). The fact that kafkas qriting emphasize tons of beurocracy and jumping from one topic to another withoit any closure in between, or any resolution whatsoever foe the entire book had confused so much, i though i mind find any new perspectives in the movie to make me resolve it in my mind. Another point, if one doesnt read the book in the original language it is merely impossoble to really get what kafka is trying to convey anyways, since mqny of the words he used have double meanings, to confuse the reader even more

@dougdouglas3945

You make a good point but only if someone takes this movie as their only exposure to this particular work. Reading the novel, watching this interpretation and also viewing other novel based portrayals gives, in my opinion only, a real life to the story. I do agree with you that taking only one of these into account will not give a true picture of Kafka's intent. But I believe all the various interpretations blended together gives an exceptionally deep and dimensional quality to an already outstanding story. I say the more the better.

@@dougdouglas3945 And perhaps that may have been the objective of the film producers, as you say, the more Kafka, the better. However, The Trial, as with all of Kafka's novels, is a transcription of intellectual perception. Just my opinion, but I think the book requires a corresponding interpretive effort on the part of the reader. Perhaps that can be accomplished in film, but my impression is this particular one failed to do so. And that might be subjective, which brings us back to square one. Thank you for your comment.

Simply telling yourself the situation is wrong and absurd and this should not be happening me will do no good. No matter how crazy it is you have to realize, and believe, that it is actually happening and take proper steps. Being in denial about a problem or situation is not going to change anything.
