Even though I'm not Jewish, I couldn't help but notice subtle antisemitism:> A menorah is prominently featured in Lulu's apartment in the beginning. This would qualify as "reveal" -- something seemingly unimportant, but plants a subliminal association in the back of your mind for future reference (so to speak). This sort of thing just doesn't happen randomly -- the menorah was put there for a reason.
> The stage manager (played as a fool for comic relief) is frequently shown in close profile -- to be sure you notice his "ethnic nose".
> The man that Lulu proclaims as her father* (thus also Jewish) is an alcoholic who cheats at cards, prostitutes his daughter, etc.
> I checked the director's bio (G. W. Pabst) -- He did films for Joseph Goebbels (Nazi Propaganda Minister).

*But I'm not sure if his character is actually supposed to be her father (?) -- What do you think?
