Trivia / Kafka

• Box Office Bomb: Budget, $11 million. Box office, $1,059,071.
• Fake Nationality: None of the main actors are Czech.
• Follow-Up Failure: This was Steven Soderbergh's follow up to his ground-breaking debut sex, lies, and videotape and failed to repeat that film's success.
• Dueling Works: The film shares a lot of similarities with Naked Lunch, another film released in 1991. That one focused on William S. Burroughs instead, and was also a loose adaptation of his overal body of work with the writer's avatar as the protagonist. Both even have Ian Holm in them!
