Kafkaesque

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 1999)

Only saw this recently at the Sydney premiere & didn't know what to expect. Certainly wasn't expecting the gore :-)
Okay - the things that seem to be missing from the other reviews that I've read: the plot & ideas are so Kafka, which is not a bad thing. In fact, it was nice to see a "new" version of it.
Performances patchy, but basically okay. Interesting what was done with limited sets. The dialogue inspired more hiding behind the seat in front, though there were some inspired lines!
Finally, the cop character - in a Hollywood movie I see him played by Bruce Willis and certainly not going the path he did. On reflection, I really liked that!!
