Welles applied his bravura directorial style to Kafka's landmark 1925 novel about Joseph K (Perkins), an office clerk who gets arrested without being told why.

Overwhelmingly bleak, but exciting cinema.

At best, it is another demonstration of the camera vers atility of Mr. Welles; at worse, a further Kafka demonstration extending to the demanding medium of the screen.

While not exactly Kafka, every inch of it is most certainly Welles

The Trial is splendid to look at and teeming with ideas about the individual, society, and of course, film itself.

The legal system is a literal maze in Welles' visualization and the disparate locations all lead back to one another.

Though debatable as an adaptation of the Franz Kafka novel, Orson Welles's nightmarish, labyrinthine comedy of 1962 remains his creepiest and most disturbing work; it's also a lot more influential than people usually admit.
February 29, 2012
Labyrinthine, stylized and tragicomic, this adaptation of Kafka's novel sees Welles at his funniest, and his most despairing.

The more Joseph tries to understand, the more impenetrable it becomes.

Orson Welles' bounced Czech, via Kafka. Not the masterpiece that many Welles fanatics claim, but intriguing and outrageous enough for genuine appreciation.
February 09, 2006
The blackest of Welles' comedies.

Above all a visual achievement, an exuberant use of camera placement and movement and inventive lighting.
