In a world that imagines myth past or untrue, I well understand why Welles said this his favorite film contained no symbols. Can you imagine a better architect to represent alienating structures in society than Welles? My favorite is K standing before the giant door to the court coming up only to the door knob. But there's an existential level too where K roams while under 'arrest' and yet still he goes to work, work in a clerical warehouse.
Patients are oddly reassured when their illness is named. K demands to know with what he is charged. Original sin? The computer reveals his most likely crime as suicide. The American release cut this scene as well as a framing parable. Said the god, "you are insatiable. What is it now?"
