Joseph K. (Anthony Perkins) wakes up in his apartment and is arrested by the cops, who don’t tell him why he’s being charged and taken into custody. Everybody enters or leaves a strange room which seems unreal. Joseph K’s life becomes totally warped in every way because others want him to act differently, although he does not know how to do this, and he only gets further into trouble. He goes to a meeting, actually his hearing, and it is a sham. His lawyer (Orson Welles) is a villain, not a savior. All women are attracted to K. He thinks he might be headed for disaster. |
