Black Comedy: Gallows humour galore. Karel works in a crematorium and it is 1938-39, the time where Czechosloval independence became greatly endangered.

A Party, Also Known as an Orgy: The party of the Nazi functionaries is quite graphic by the standards of the 60's.

Ax-Crazy: Karel begins to slowly lose his marbles over the course of the film, and it eventually comes to a head when he murders his son and tries to do the same with his daughter when his obsession with death finally reaches critical mass.

Cerebus Syndrome: The situation in Czechoslovakia in 1938-39 is ever more gloomy. The tone of the film shifts correspondingly.
