Priests and Infidelity - SPOILERS

I just re-watched the film, shortly before my final exam. I had a couple of things I noticed which my lecturer never mentioned, and thought I would throw out to IMDb.

When Anita (older woman) is selling drugs in car park, her third customer (the guy who trades her the stun gun) has a priest's collar on. I am not 100% certain about this, but it looks very similar. If this is the case, then this is pretty much the only example of Christianity in the movie - and its not the most favourable one!

At the end of the film when Anders (brick layer) returns home, and looks out of the window to see his wife returning - she is kissing a guy right? On my first viewing I thought it was the female friend she had mentioned going out with, so sort of like a "Goodbye" friendly kiss between women. But now I could swear this was a guy - which makes their story conclusion totally different.

Anyone notice these things, or am I completely crazy? :)

First of all...Anders' wife is certainly kissing a guy in the car when she returns home after a night out with her friend. That's probably how Anders realizes (and after spending the whole night with the crazy couple) that he should pay more attention to his family before it's too late.
Regarding the priest...I was watching the film last night with a couple of friends and when the credits came, there was actually mentioned a role called "The Priest" and we couldn't figure out who that could have been as we didn't notice any priest, so it may very well have been the last drug addict in the car park. I'll have to double check the DVD.
By the way, great film!
