A film that never starts, 20 October 2004
3/10
Author: Systematicer from Austria

It doesn't work. No. It definitely doesn't work as a film. It's pointless. I feel pretty messed around right now. Maximilian Schell did well. But that's it. There were two nice scenes. But that's it.

The film is creating its own reality just to deliver the right message. If you want to tell a story that delivers these messages it tries to deliver...then tell a better one!

The film is quite terrible. It never really starts and it's over before it comes to any relevant point. I didn't like it. Just watch it if you're really into Franz Kafka's story.

3/10 because it tries to deliver a great message but fails miserably.
