The Castle
Drama
Closely based on Franz Kafka's book "Das Schloß", the movie shares the same action on a land surveyor who is called to a village to do a job that no one seems to have ordered. Once there, he takes up the struggle against bureaucracy emanating from the castle.
VIBE
A suffocating descent into bureaucratic absurdity. The film feels like a waking nightmare, where logic bends and hope withers under the weight of an unknowable, unyielding system. It's a stark, disquieting experience.
