    Synopsis:
    Michael Haneke's masterful adaptation of Kafka's seminal novel is a chilling, existential enquiry into alienation, available here for the first time as a stand-alone DVD. A land surveyor is summoned to a remote village by the local government, housed in 'the castle'. But when he arrives he is unable to persuade the locals of his legitimacy and finds himself in an absurd spiral of provincial bureaucracy that soon becomes a surreal, all-encompassing nightmare.
