1962, France/West Germany/Italy, 118 minutes, 35mm

Based on Franz Kafka's novel
Starring Anthony Perkins, Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider,
Elsa Martinelli, Suzanne Flon, Orson Welles, Akim Tamiroff
Wed & Thu: 7:30 pm
"The Trial is splendid to look at and teeming with ideas about the individual, society, and of course, film itself."
- Amy Taubin, Village Voice
"Above all a visual achievement, an exuberant use of camera placement and movement and inventive lighting."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Though debatable as an adaptation of the Franz Kafka novel, Orson Welles's nightmarish, labyrinthine comedy of 1962 remains his creepiest and most disturbing work; it's also a lot more influential than people usually admit."
- Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
"Labyrinthine, stylized and tragicomic, this adaptation of Kafka's novel sees Welles at his funniest, and his most despairing."
- Film4

"As Wolcott Gibbs once said to Shakespeare: Kafka, here's your hat.
"That's just one of the deliciously eccentric messages being sent out by Woody Allen in his rich, not easily categorized new black-and-white comedy, 'Shadows and Fog.' Among other things, 'Shadows and Fog' contemplates life, death, love, literature, movies, American humor in general, the gags of Bob Hope in particular, the music of Kurt Weill and the changing fashions in B.V.D.'s."
- Vincent Canby, New York Times
