THE CASTLE-1997-If you're familiar with the novels and short stories of Czech writer Franz Kafka you might enjoy this long authentic adaptation of his famous unfinished novel. K (Ulrich Muhe), a land surveyor is summoned to a town possibly for a job but can make no headway with the mysterious bureaucracy of The Castle. Be in for a surprise if you don't know how the novel ends because this Austrian production ends the very same way. I think the makers of Blair Witch saw this! It was directed by Michael Hanneke for Austrian TV. He later made THE PIANO TEACHER and TIME OF THE WOLF.
Thanks for reading!
