The Castle (Das Schloß)
Austria 1997, color, 125 min., digital proj., German with English subtitles, starring Ulrich Mühe, Frank Giering, Felix Eitner
A land surveyor takes a job at a mysterious castle, only to meet resistance from co-workers who have been organized by the company’s bureaucracy to impede his progress.
He also is met with hostility from the residents of a nearby town who conspire with the castle’s workers.
Haneke’s faithful adaptation of Franz Kafka’s novel fragment successfully incorporates the writer’s prose into a startling cinematic vision.
