"The independent Russian film director, Konstantin Seliverstov, has now produced adaptations of three of Kafka’s most important works; The Trial , The Castle , and Metamorphosis . If there is any filmgoer alive who does not already know that Kafka was from Prague, then they would simply assume – upon seeing these films - that Kafka was Russian. Not only this, but they would also assume that Kafka was a present day Russian dissident. Seliverstov first adaptation – The Trial – is a faithful, menacing, black and white portrayal of Josef K’s arrest and processing. (The Russian title is Protsess –‘The Process’). The well-known plot unfolds with a disorienting, frightening inevitability, as Josef K (about whom ‘someone must have been telling lies’) is arrested one morning (‘without having done anything wrong’), and is then laboriously ‘processed’ through the labyrinthine State legal and penal system, without ever truly finding out what crime he is supposed to have committed. To experience Kafka’s novel rendered into colloquial modern Russian by Russian actors and in a Russian setting feels both entirely natural yet also eerie and unsettling - an old familiar tale suddenly made disconcertingly new in Mother Russia".
