"When I saw Der müde Tod, I suddenly knew that I wanted to make movies. It wasn’t the three stories themselves that moved me so much, but the main episode – the arrival of the man in the black hat (whom I instantly recognized as Death) in the Flemish village – and the scene in the cemetery. Something about this film spoke to something deep in me; it clarified my life and my vision of the world."
Luis Buñuel

In Buñuel's Un Chien Andalou, two lovers are buried in the sand, in reference to the Frank's death in the film.
