Kafka floats out there, in western culture, like a mystery waiting to be confronted. Is it enjoyable? No, but The Castle, at least, is a clever and frighteningly labyrinthine denouncement of bureaucracy, both as a concept and as it is applied to governments that existed then and still exist now. I found this to be something of a good piece of art; you halfway understand it, but you walk away knowing there's more there if you just look a bit harder, or is that just an illusion? Interesting and challenging... (3/5 Stars)
