Interesting fact – it is possible to find the book that Isidor (Peter Kern) holds at 1:11:24 (Josephi Jacobi Plenck: “Toxicologia seu doctrina de venenis et antidotis”, Vienna, 1785) on internet, full text – latin.

I’ve only been able to find the version without subtitles though!

If in Shadow of Angels , iconoclastic Swiss director Daniel Schmid demonstrated that, in adapting a play by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, he could in effect out-Fassbinder Fassbinder himself, his previous film La Paloma is a far more inscrutable work, and probably more distinctively Schmid’s own.

In Tonight or Never the first shot is the same as the last shot. GI I was confused by La Paloma because it only becomes a hallucination at the very end.
