Ray Winkler (Woody Allen) is an ex-con with big dreams and an inability to hold down dishwashing jobs. His wife, Frenchy (Tracey Ullman), is a sardonic manicurist who reins Ray in, attempting to keep him grounded in reality.

So when Ray comes to Frenchy with a half-baked plan to rob a bank, she's dead set against it: no way is she giving up their life savings so he can work with three dimwitted guys in a harebrained scheme. Yet Ray, with his neurotic charm, wins her over and even convinces her to run the front for their operation: a cookie store. Soon enough, their get-rich-quick scheme to rob a bank leaves them rolling in dough-but not the kind they had in mind.

From Michael Haneke, winner of the Palme d'Or 2009 and 2012, comes this icy, beguiling, masterful adaptation of Kafka's seminal novel, starring the late, great Ulrich Muhe. 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 sucked into a bizarre spiral of provincial bureaucracy and petty social rivalries that soon becomes a surreal, all-encompassing nightmare. Throwing open a deep thematic vein in Haneke's work, this stunning parable of alienation and absurdity highlights important parallels between the two artists' oeuvres, making it a lesser-known yet crucial part of his glittering career.

Perfectly paced and executed, Haneke's skilful weaving of these tableaux into a coherent and compelling whole is mesmerising and strangely beautiful.
