The Castle

Michael Haneke

This was a pretty straightforward adaptation of the Kafka novel. Because of the consistent tone of absurdity in every scene I found it hard to get involved in any of this and after an hour or so found my attention wandering, never to return. It was one of his weaker books and didn't translate to film well. MH should have imposed more of his own imagination on the story but may have been reluctant to when adapting such an iconic writer.
