The Trial

anthony perkins performance really sells the character and the realm welles creates compliments it.

this plane of reality is not realistic yet not fully dream like.
we are transported into this nightmare world just like the character, symbolising the decade his own reality is facing because of this arrest.
he aimlessly walks around while meeting numerous people.
people, like its reality, not realistic but also not dream like.
the film reminds me of how macbeth looks but way better in that orson welles realises the space his character inhabit as in where macbeth sometimes felt like they reused the same set for multiple scenes.

i would say its welles best as anthony really does standout since i don't think he's ever worked before or after this one.
