The Trial 4K Blu-ray

STUDIOCANAL and la Cinémathèque française are pleased to confirm the brand new 4K restoration of Orson Welles’ (CITIZEN KANE, THE THIRD MAN) psychological thriller, THE TRIAL(1962), will receive its Premiere at the 75th Cannes Film Festival within Cannes Classics.

The Wellesian classic celebrates its 60th Anniversary this year and will be available on UHD, Blu-ray and DVD in select territories later in the year.

The film will receive its home entertainment release via STUDIOCANAL in the UK, France, and Germany in September 2022. A theatrical release is also planned in France via Potemkine in September, as well as in the USA with Rialto Pictures later this year. The first public screening of the film will take place on July 2, 2022, at 2:30 pm at La Cinémathèque française.

A new artwork and trailer are being developed to promote the release. There will also be new bonus features included on the STUDIOCANAL home entertainment editions.

Based on Franz Kafka’s 1925 posthumously published novel of the same name, Orson Welles himself called THE TRIAL “The best film I ever made”. Anthony Perkins (PSYCHO) stars as the guilt-ridden Josef K, who wakes up to realise he is under arrest for an unspecified crime. The victim of a nightmarish, dystopian scenario, K ultimately begins doubting his own innocence. Jeanne Moreau (JULES AND JIM), Elsa Martinelli (DONATELLA) and Romy Schneider(SISSI) co-star, with Orson Welles also appearing in the film as Hastler, an advocate that K consults. With high contrast black-and-white cinematography and sharp, disorientating camera angles, the film deftly utilises the vocabulary of film noir. It is considered by many to be an underrated masterpiece within Welles’ oeuvre.

THE TRIAL was restored by STUDIOCANAL and la Cinémathèque française. The image and sound restorations were carried out in 4K at the L’image Retrouvée laboratory from the original 35mm negative. The project was supervised by STUDIOCANAL’s Sophie Boyer, responsible for library restoration at STUDIOCANAL, and Jean-Pierre Boiget, EVP distribution Services & IT at STUDIOCANAL.
