Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
On the morning of his 30th birthday, senior bank clerk Josef K. is put under arrest by men who refuse to identify themselves. He's not taken into custody, and nobody will--or even can--tell him the charges against him. Josef refuses to take it seriously, and thus begins his descent into the mad vagaries of a court system that is as enigmatic as it is ominous. This BBC coproduction of the Franz Kafka book features a screenplay by Harold Pinter (Turtle Diary, The French Lieutenant's Woman) that starts out full of wit and menace, but loses steam in the second half and delivers a flat and confusing ending. Kyle MacLachlan is perfectly cast as a sort of yuppie Josef K. who's so self-involved and complacent that he cannot express proper outrage at the injustice. Although he's second-billed, Anthony Hopkins's role as the priest is more of a cameo. Polly Walker and Alfred Molina (a standout as the court painter, Titorelli) both seem to get Kafka's cosmic joke. Beautifully filmed in Prague. --Geof Miller

Kafka is my favorite modern writer. Anyone who wants to understand Kafka should read Ruth Tiefenbaum's Moment of Torment, which quite convincingly makes the case that Kafka was a passive homosexual, who used his famous code to tell the truth about himself in a way that wouldn't destroy his position in society.
The literary world has always recognized the eery power of Kafka's oeuvre, but has always been puzzled about exactly what it means, if anything. So we get rather absurd interpretations ... Read More

Guilty! guilty! we are all guiilty! guilty of what? it doesnt matter we are all guilty of something always, all the time, at least society teach us that, we learn to live with that sorrow from the day we born, till the day we die, you better dont walk tall, speak to your chest and you will have no tribulations, society will not attack you and you will be not accused of the crime of pride, well Kafka states we have to fight against all of this not to live by societys conventions and decide things for ourselves,Kafka ...

I give the movie five stars. The DVD, one (see below). I won't focus much on the merits of the film aside from saying that the story of the film is one of the most important works of the twentieth-century and is central to the modern, and post-modern, human experience. I saw this movie at the Angelika in New York when it came out. One of Hollywood's crimes was not giving it a distribution deal in the U.S. I have to admit that, the first time I saw it, I was somewhat disappointed by the portrayals in general. However, ...

At some point in your life you begin to question all of the reasons you used to give yourself to explain why you do what you do. Not only that, you discover that other people, who you thought were on your side are really standing on the sidelines judging you. You are, in other words, on trial: you need to justify your way of life not only to yourself but to others. What brings this on, perhaps, is the recognition of your own mortality, or the recognition that your ambitions may never be realized because your future ... Read More
