Artist: “A skull is almost more interesting than a naked woman.”

“He said nothing.”
“Was he a mute?”
“No, milord. He was very eloquent, but what he said was very depressing”.

“Give me some gin. I’ve had nothing but water today.”

And at the very end:
"Mia! I see them, Mia! I see them! Over there against the stormy sky. They are all there. The smith and Lisa, the knight, Raval, Jöns, and Skat. And the strict master Death bids them dance. He wants them to hold hands and to tread the dance in a long line. At the head goes the strict master with the scythe and hourglass. But the Fool brings up the rear with his lute. They move away from the dawn in a solemn dance away towards the dark lands while the rain cleanses their cheeks of the salt from their bitter tears."
1) Opening scene
2) Death's beach
3) Death
4) Death chooses his chess piece
5) Antonius' confession to Death
6) The child martyr
7) Town
8) When Death is coming for them, the fabric Antonius sits in front of at the table resembles bat wings. It's a menacing scene, but Antonius is not a menacing character. It feels stupid to say it's accidental; I'm sure nothing was overlooked making this film.
9) Several times in the movie, Death is seen as a light from above. This is just before the final reaping, a light shining from a window; the window mimics the silhouette of Death's head, with the final fire of life burning.
