An ambitious film with equally ambitious influences - we went even further to our high culture cheat sheet, an alphabetical list of research exhaustive of all artists, dance troupes and performance artists references conceptual "Ye in the video, he you can not help it .. the movie is better to understand, but it will certainly sound smart at your next cocktail party.

Or if you prefer to call and Ku Klux Klan, featured famous Corbijn, a little girl wears a dress in her video-Klan icon Nirvana "Heart-Shaped Box".
Crewdson, Gregory: American photographer famous for his carefully orchestrated, very surreal portraits of suburban living. Many scenes in "Runaway" - especially those in which the Phoenix is in the court of contemplation West - apparently taken directly from his wallet.
Dia de los Muertos: Day celebrated in Mexico (and in various forms in the world) to remember family members and friends who have died. Often, instead of taking the parades with giant skeletons, marching bands, and paper mache skull (called calavera), which kind of look at the parade of Michael Jackson in memory of "Runaway."
Guo-Qiang, Cai: blown contemporary Chinese artists for his drawings and gunpowder called "explosive" performance parts in large volumes in which things, often in unison known, so that smoke and charred earth in their wake.

Known for its colorful plumage, the phoenix lives for every 500-1000 years ago, when he builds a nest for himself and ignited. A new phoenix is born from the ashes. He later became a symbol of rebirth, immortality and renewal. And namesake of the capital of Arizona.
"Swan Lake". The famous Russian ballet about a princess into a swan by an evil sorcerer curse turns in the third act, "an evil sorcerer tricks benevolent prince said by admitting his love for his daughter from his position as a black swan. Just like all the dancers in" Runaway ".

Von Trier, Lars: Danish filmmaker known for his intelligent, often brutal films, maybe not smart (or sudden) that in 2009 the "Antichrist" which - like "Runaway" - contains a scene not seem a deer all the fear of people.
