Quote:
The Trial is a 1962 film directed by Orson Welles, who also wrote the screenplay based on the novel of the same name by Franz Kafka. Welles stated in a 1962 interview with the BBC that "The Trial is the best film I have ever made."The film begins with Welles narrating Kafka's parable "Before the Law" to pinscreen scenes created by the artist Alexandre Alexeieff. Anthony Perkins stars as Josef K., a bureaucrat who is accused of a never-specified crime, and Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider, and Elsa Martinelli play women who become involved in various ways in Josef's trial and life. Welles plays the Advocate, Josef's lawyer and the film's principal antagonist. The Trial was filmed in Europe and has been praised for its creative set designs and cinematography, especially Welles's uses of unique angles and focus.

Nice! Definitely going to get it.

I remember paying a small fortune for it on a gold-colored laserdisc back in the day. :-)

I remember really enjoying this when I rented the DVD, despite the atrocious picture/audio quality. Let's hope they do a decent job on the BD. Anyway, it'll be great to have some more Orson Welles in HD.

Is Amazon U.K. the best place to order this to ship to the U.S.? Seems like the best prices overall and no VAT.

I am so disappointed this is region locked. This is one of my favorite films and was holding out buying the over-priced milestone DVD, to see if it comes out on Blu. It's so hard to find a quality transfer of this film, that the complaints on the transfer make me laugh, as it looks fantastic compared to what I have seen previously.
