Welles applied his bravura directorial style to Kafka's landmark 1925 novel about Joseph K (Perkins), an office clerk who gets arrested without being told why.

The blackest of Welles' comedies.

While not exactly Kafka, every inch of it is most certainly Welles

Above all a visual achievement, an exuberant use of camera placement and movement and inventive lighting.
Film Threat

Orson Welles' bounced Czech, via Kafka. Not the masterpiece that many Welles fanatics claim, but intriguing and outrageous enough for genuine appreciation.

The legal system is a literal maze in Welles' visualization and the disparate locations all lead back to one another.
April 06, 2007
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.

The Trial is splendid to look at and teeming with ideas about the individual, society, and of course, film itself.

Labyrinthine, stylized and tragicomic, this adaptation of Kafka's novel sees Welles at his funniest, and his most despairing.

At best, it is another demonstration of the camera vers atility of Mr. Welles; at worse, a further Kafka demonstration extending to the demanding medium of the screen.

Overwhelmingly bleak, but exciting cinema.

The more Joseph tries to understand, the more impenetrable it becomes.
