Literature

  • Oona Out of Order, a novel where the titular protagonist is Unstuck in Time, opens with a quote from the film: "Time heals all. But what if time itself is the disease?"

Live-Action Television

  • Israeli skit show The Chamber Quintet parodied this film. In the parody, one of the angels tells various anecdotes about random people in Berlin in a thick and very unconvincing accent, but his friend cuts him off, insisting that All Germans Are Nazis; when the first angel mentions the trapezist and says he wants to become human to ‘relish the taste of love’, his friend insists he just wants to ‘fuck a Nazi chick’. When he approaches the trapezist and courts her eloquently, she turns out to be a stereotypical German Dominatrix. Watch it here.
