IMDb profile

Zamok (Russian: Замок, En. The Castle) is a 1994 film directed by Aleksei Balabanov. It is the first notable screen version of Kafka’s unfinished novel of the same name, filmed in Russia. A sophisticated and ambiguous parable of an individual desperately trying to preserve his identity while struggling against the sinister and invisible bureaucrats who rule the village from inside the castle. This funny, somewhat bizarre, and distinctive movie has won nominations and prizes including official selections in Montreal and Rotterdam, and two national Nika awards.

The stars of the film include talented Russian actors such as Nikolay Stotsky, Svetlana Pismichenko, and Viktor Sukhorukov.
