K (2015) in brief New Directors New Films 2015

Chinese made adaption of the Franz Kafka novel The Castle reallocated to Mongolia has a land surveyor summoned to a remote village by the governor.

Offered a job as a janitor instead the surveyor wants to get into the castle to talk to someone to rectify the situation but...

Well made and well done adaption of Kafka this film has a look and feel of a novel. Perhaps its a bit too much like a novel with some of the dialog coming off as too literary.

I like it a  great deal and I can't wait to give it another go..
