The Castle

This absurd Kafkaesque nightmare finds its ideal cinematic adaptation in the hands of Michael Haneke, who pulls us into a maelstrom of endless bureaucratic dystopia, with the protagonists of "Funny Games", just before the release of the latter.

Synopsis

A land surveyor is summoned to a remote village by the local government, housed in ‘the castle’. Upon his arrival, he is unable to persuade the locals of his legitimacy and finds himself sucked into a spiral of provincial bureaucracy and petty social rivalries that soon becomes a surreal nightmare.
