    Assez surréaliste. Haneke a même laissé les fragments inachevés par Kafka, donc certaines scènes coupent en plein milieu d'un dialogue. C'est très dense. Très peu d'action, beaucoup de dialogues.

Tout est merveilleusement bien reproduit, à l'image du Procès d'Orson Welles. Un film difficile d'approche, mais réussi.
