A little off-center then your average film, it none-the-less grabs your attention. Jeremy Irons is brilliant as usual. ...

..With all the surreal paranoia one might expect, with Irons doing a terrific job as the lonely Kafka working in a large insurance office. Also, Alec Guinness as his mysterious boss in one of his best later roles. The entire movie is beautifully filmed ...
