Continuity: After Cassiel meets Anton Becker and returns to Angelo's pizzeria, he meets Emit Flesti and Damiel puts his flour stained hands on Flesti's shoulder, leaving a white mark on the black suit. The next time we see Flesti, moments later, there is no white mark. more
Quotes:
Emit Flesti:
Have you heard the prophecy? "In the Year of Hate, when all that is foreign is despised, dark riders will enter the harbor, seize the ship and everyone on it and sail them straight into hell"
Cassiel:
I know all prophecy, but not this one. You made it up.
Emit Flesti:
What's the difference? It just happened.

I've seen this film days ago, and I am still touched by it very deeply - I'm still thinking about it, its implications, the actors (especially Otto Sander), and the warmth and tenderness it conveys. Intellectual cinema highly recommended to everyone who wants to be moved and touched on a very deep level. This is THE film!
