Just before going to the Castle, Kafka (Jeremy Irons) ask Bizzlebek (Jeroen Krabbé) to burn his manuscripts if he never came back. Bizzlebek replies "such an extraordinary request". This is in reference of the real request Kafka asked his friend Max Brod before dying. Brod couldn't go with the request, and had Kafka's work published.
Loosely based on Franz Kafka's novel, "The Castle". In it, a protagonist, known only as "K", struggles to gain access to the mysterious authorities of a castle, who govern the village for unknown reasons. Kafka died before finishing the work.
In the novel "The Castle", as in this movie, the protagonist, struggles to gain access to the mysterious authorities of a castle who govern the village for unknown reasons. "The Castle" is about alienation, bureaucracy, the seemingly endless frustrations of man's attempts to stand against the system, and the futile and hopeless pursuit of an unattainable goal.
In the end of the movie, Kafka can be seen coughing up blood. Kafka began to suffer from tuberculosis in 1917, and died on June 3, 1924.
The cast includes three Oscar winners: Jeremy Irons, Sir Alec Guinness, and Joel Grey; and one Oscar nominee: Sir Ian Holm.
"Doctor Murnau: A crowd is easier to control than an individual. A crowd has a common purpose. The purpose of the individual is always in question. Franz Kafka: That's what you're trying to eliminate, isn't it? Everything that makes one human being different from another. But you'll *never*, *never* reach a man's soul through a lens. Doctor Murnau: That rather depends on which end of the microscope you're on, doesn't it?"
"Chief Clerk: Oh, I know you were friendly with that poor fellow, what was his name - Franz Kafka: Raban... Eduard Raban. Chief Clerk: Yes, yes, Raban. But he was too like you. Even more like you, perhaps, than you are yourself."
