the theatrical adaptation of The Trial is showing at the young vic theatre in London - great production

I saw an aburdist adaption of this the other day, the contrast between this and the play is crazy.

an amazing novel, play and film. thanks a lot for posting, im studying the play for my drama a level, good to see another interpretation

My favourite novel. defined my life.

@loopynutcase You would be incorrect. It is Tim Roth. 1988.

Its from a documentary shown on the South Bank Show ( a ITV arts programme) in the early nineties. Quality British television. Actually most of it is crap esp. nowadays.

thats right

@nofx221984 Well's is cinematically stunning, but slightly less accurate in regards to the actual story.

@brahgo South Bank Show 1988

@slinkhard84 I second this!

this is the sort of thing derek jarman would have done wonderfully

Holy smokes! I found this movie?! O_o STrange! Great Job uploading the thing. However, Orson Well's Version was a bit better.

awesome! pity its not able to be watched fullscreen, its compressed like arse

hi all! i have a question ive always wondered about the novel the trial, my question is whether there are some good examples which show that the trial is a modern novel? Shortly i wonder what makes this novel a modern novel? And on which chapters can you fine the examples which makes this novel a modern literature? I hope you can help me with these questions and i would be so grateful to you. bye

@PeterSodhi Yes about 10% of the output of British TV could still be called quality. Increasingly the niche minority public service aspect that allows us channels such as BBC Four or More4. The rest is average to abysmal. Hard to stomach for the descerning. Meat and drink to the rest. To be honest if all TV was dross I would get a lot more done.
