Orson Welles inventively adapts Franz Kafka’s classic novel about Josef K. (Anthony Perkins), a lowly office worker who is relentlessly pursued for an unspecified crime until even he is unsure of his innocence.
The first in Krzysztof Kieślowski’s acclaimed trilogy exploring the symbolism of the three colors of the French flag—in this case, blue, for liberty—features one of Juliette Binoche’s finest performances. With piercing emotional depth, Binoche plays a Parisian woman who, following the death of her husband and daughter, attempts to start a new life unencumbered by emotional attachments—a quest for an illusory freedom that opens up profound questions about the meaning of personal liberty.
