Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Continuity: Just before the wedding scene, Bedrich and Julia wake up with the former wearing a white shirt and black pants while Julia is topless. This is way different compared to what they wore the day 'after' - Bedrich and Julia are clad in their night clothes. There is also no indication of any days passing between that and the honeymoon. more

Think different!, 15 February 2000
10/10
Author: Vit Condak (gunny@post.cz) from Ostrava, Czech Republic

This film will really make you think different.

The story is about a husband who kills his wife, but it's not important.

The great idea is something else: the WHOLE film was shot backwards. Even the dialogues are spoken backwards. (I guess it was quite hard, because the actors had to speak backwards and then they had to dub themselves. Sounds a bit complicated, doesn't it? =) So the film starts with the execution of the main character and it ends when he is born.

This will turn your brain upside down! =)
