Creator Cameo: Ron and Russell Mael, along with director Leos Carax are in the opening as themselves before the former two appear again as a pair of airline pilots.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Annette / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: The beginning of the film and its opening number, "So May We Start," annihilates it, featuring the cast and crew directly addressing the audience out-of-character and asking them to pay attention.

Downer Ending
 Annette / int_4e3d253b
comment
Downer Ending: If you view a movie from Protagonist-Centered Morality, by the end of the movie, Henry's career is in tatters and he's found guilty of killing both Ann and The Accompanist, while Annette comes back to tell him she's given up her career and is never talking to him again, leaving him completely alone. Though, if you find Henry completely unsympathetic it could be seen as Bittersweet Ending for Annette (more of sweet then bitter) since she finally gets to make decisions for herself and no longer is a puppet for either of her parents.

Dreaming the Truth
 Annette / int_53f0f67e
comment
Dreaming the Truth: Ann has one where six of Henry's exes come forward to accuse him of Domestic Abuse, especially a vicious temper. Ends up becoming Dreaming of Things to Come when he's indirectly involved in her death and directly in The Accompanist's death. The movie does not delve into any of Henry's past relationships.

comment
Cerebus Callback: The song "We Love Each Other So Much," which Ann and Henry sings early on in the film is revealed to be a song The Accompanist created for Ann, during their affair. When Annette plays the instrumental version of it on her piano, that sets Henry down a path that lead to The Accompanist's death.

comment
Jukebox Musical: While most songs are original, there are a few allusions to and uses of older Sparks songs such as "Rock, Rock, Rock", "Thanks But No Thanks", "Bon Voyage", and "The Calm Before the Opera." Henry also directly quotes a passage from Tom Lehrer's song "National Brotherhood Week" in the first performance we see of Ape of God.

comment
Idiot Ball: The Accompanist accepts Henry's offer to "talk" about his relationship with Ann and the fact that he might be Annette's father—at night, outside, by the pool, while Henry is drunk. It's a fatal mistake.
