Proces

The first film adaptation of Kafka's unfinished novel "The Trial" (1914/1915). It is quite challenging to search for the boundaries between Kafka and Orson Welles, just as it is a challenge to follow this story outside the realities of old Austria-Hungary. But I am glad that the cast is international. The presence of Italian, French, and German actresses helps global understanding. Romy Schneider plays Leni, taking care of the old lawyer. For her, this role meant a significant turning point at a time when she was looking for a new career. (14.02.2023)
