* JerkassWoobie: For much of the first half of the film, Mr. Matuschek is this. He behaves quite rudely towards Kralik (and, to a lesser extent, the rest of his staff) but it's because he suspects his wife of cheating on him with one of his employees--and he's exactly right, just not with the employee he thinks.
