2* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Eva a terrible person for running up the bills and simply leaving? Or is living in the middle of nowhere with two obviously crazy men just unbearable?
3* TheDanza: Bruno Schleinstein as Bruno Stroszek, Eva Mattes as Eva.
4* HarsherInHindsight: [[spoiler:Bruno's suicide]] at the end of the film becomes far darker when one takes into account that one of the last things Music/JoyDivision frontman Ian Curtis did before his own suicide -- on the eve of what would have been the band's first trip to America, no less -- was watch this movie.
5* OvershadowedByControversy: The film is notorious for being the last thing [[Music/JoyDivision Ian Curtis]] watched before committing suicide.
6* TypeCasting: Just like in Herzog's ''Theatre/{{Woyzeck}}'', Eva Mattes plays a woman who temporarily has a crazy husband.
7* TheWoobie: Bruno and Eva both.
