Quite good but a bit lacking in enthusiasm
by TomParr2002-11-29
6/10

"This film was OK. The plot went along happily enough, but I thought things were a bit vague as to K's state of mind during the film and the ending seemed anticlimatical. I have not read the book and perhaps this is how it was supposed to be. The silliest thing I noticed about this film is that Anthony Hopkins took up the whole of my DVD cover and then only appeared for around 10 minutes of the about 2 hour film. I find this rather odd and amusing. Otherwise, I thought the film was well acted and had a lovely setting. 6/10..."

According to Variety: "(Harold) Pinter is on record that 'The Trial,' which he first read in his teens, has always represented one of the most important influences on his own work; this production came about when the BBC asked him to select the work he most wanted to adapt."
