Wissenswertes

Schizopolis is a 1996 surrealist experimental comedy film with a non-linear narrative written and directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Production

Schizopolis was shot in Soderbergh's hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana over a period of nine months, beginning in March 1995, on a budget of only $250,000. Due to Soderbergh's desire to keep the film simple, many people had multiple duties (i.e. David Jensen played Elmo Oxygen as well as being the casting director and key grip) and many friends and relatives were hired in various capacities.

Betsy Brantley, who plays Mrs. Munson, is Steven Soderbergh's ex-wife in real-life. Soderbergh himself took the lead role, instead of hiring a professional actor, in part because, as he said, "There was just nobody I knew that I could make that demand of - come and work for free for nine months whenever I feel like it in Baton Rouge!"
