Josef K (Perkins, Psycho) is arrested, but has no idea what crime he is accused of. In order to find out what offence he is meant to have committed, and to protest his innocence, Josef must go through the machinations of the judicial system, but he soon finds himself trapped in a dehumanised nightmare, and not even his lawyer, a family friend, is able to help.

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.
