Das Schloß (1997)

Land surveyor K (Ulrich M ü he) arrives in a village on a winter night to perform the work entrusted by the nearby castle. After he settles down in an inn, a young man comes and asks him for a permit that does not exist. As a start, K is poor in order to enter the castle. The next day, a pair of twin assistants joined K, but they knew nothing about their work. The castle claimed on the phone that K and others could never enter the castle. Barnabe, the messenger of the castle, immediately arrived and said that he could help K, and K was directed to the hotel to meet Kram, an important figure in the castle. K tried to achieve his goal through Clem's mistress Frida. He had a relationship with Frida and was engaged. K talked with the village head about the origin of his job, and because the village head got a job in the school, he and Frida temporarily had a place to live. K's visit to Barnabe's house again caused Frida's despair, and his hope of entering the castle was still slim. This film is based on Kafka's novel of the same name.
