The dance has been referred as the 'Madison dance', but bears little resemblance to the real 'Madison' dance.

Odile refers to dancing at 'Mimi Pinson's'. 'Mimi Pinson' was a fictional character in a book by Alfred de Musset, 'Mademoiselle Mimi Pinson: Profil de grisette'. It is likely her name was appropriated for the name of a dance hall/ café. It has links to Odile's character in that Mimi Pinson was a grisette, a term used to define independent young women who were adventurous and lived only for moment.

The "minute of silence" lasts 36 seconds.

When the English teacher writes the word 'Classique' on the board, the first shot shows a much larger 'C' than the following shot.

When Franz and Arthur stop to look at Odile's house, Arthur is seen to put his book into his pocket twice, in different shots.

When assaulted by his uncle, Arthur's position changes between shots.

Franz: A minute of silence can last a long time... a whole eternity.

Arthur: In ten minutes, downstairs, in the car.

Franz: Sometimes, if you don't hide stuff, nobody notices. I read that in an American book.
