What's left behind the scenes

  • The film opens with the author's line: 'This film is dedicated to everyone I hate.'
  • A painting by Dutch artist Frans Hals, 'The Banquet of the Officers of the St. George Militia Company,' hangs on the wall in the 'Dutchmen' restaurant.
  • The composition 'Fish Beach,' which appears repeatedly in the film, was not included on the soundtrack and is not mentioned in the credits, as it was originally written for the film 'The Drowning Pool' (1988).
  • At the beginning of the film, when Spikers' people bring the neon letters, they initially arrange them to spell ASPIC (from the French “viper,” and also jellied meat).
  • The boy from the kitchen performs the composition “Miserere,” which contains the words: “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow” – a quote from Psalm 51:7, echoing the boy’s profession – he is a dishwasher.
