Synopsis: Brilliantly capturing the oppressive paranoia of Franz Kafka's classic novel, Orson Welles' The Trial is the story of a young clerk, Josef K., who is arrested, tried and finally executed - all without ever knowing his crime. Welles filmed this baroque work of genius in a deserted Belle Epoque railway station in Paris. The strange setting perfectly captures the bizarre and nightmarish world of Kafka's mythical totalitarian state.
