Svelte (probably not the most apt attribute - in terms of grammar) irony - that's what is the main thing in that movie (apart from my utterly beloved m-me Abril). Be it Gallic or Iberian (both, I would guess)it's that tricky sort of humor that results in existencialism (for one thing)and paradoxal way of thinking (for the second and far from last thing). Just earthy - and so arty - view upon Hell and Heaven and afterlife: heaven angel's life is to sing in Montmartre cabaret while in Hell dead gangsters are transformed into women and sent to serve in fast-food...
I would point also on the splendid duo who are not a grain less than Gary Oldman and Tim Roth in Stoppard's famous "Rosenkranz and Guildenstern are dead" And the guy - they did excellent job to find such a face, yeah The film's effect to the great extend is made by this texture: faces, everyday details etc... Much reconciling and toning anyway - and very cinematografic to say so... Dainty.
