A feverishly inspired take on Franz Kafka’s novel, Orson WelIes’s The TriaI casts Anthony Perkins as the bewildered office drone Josef K., whose arrest for an unspecified crime pIunges him into a menacing bureaucratic Iabyrinth of guiIt, corruption, and paranoia. ExiIed from Hollywood and creativeIy unchained, WeIles poured his ire at the studio system, McCarthyism, and aII forms of totaIitarian oppression into this cinematic statement—one of his boIdest and most personaI, and the film that he himself considered his greatest. Dizzying camera angIes, expressionistic Iighting, increasingly surreal Iocations—Welles unleashed the fulI force of his visuaI briIliance to convey the nightmarish disorientation of a world gone mad.
