Review:
Why take the time to eye-run thru Kafka when Spanish will suit your misanthropic needs in under two hours? An additional duplicity: has Mamet been possessed by David Lynch & is Spanish actually a D.C. of Twin Peaks - call an exorcist...quick. A very sterile (this is NOT a criticism) & polite movie, with a cast well-versed in Cronenbergian theatrics; stand straight, dot that "i" and cross that "t". Similar to The Game's civilized cruelty; dark/messy emotions handled in a hand-washed, factory-sealed manner. Two Points: 1/ Could "The Process" be some kind of Viagra metaphor? 2/ Am I the only fool who thinks Steve Martin looks A LOT like Harrison Ford??
