    Before The Law

    ★★★★½

    Adapting Kafka to screen will always be a monumentally difficult task. The only time I felt a film captured the essence of the word 'kafkaesque' was Koji Yamamura's 2007 animated short A Country Doctor.

    It is the story of a traumatized, misunderstood and melancholy person named Jack. We experience his life through a series of monologues from his younger and current selves as well as some of his acquaintances…
