| While creating last week's quiz, I was certain that the undeniably Wong Kar-wai-ish shot of Gong Li would result in many guesses of 2046, yet only a few fell into that trap. Most were able to recognize Ms. Li from The Hand, Wong's entry in the disappointing Eros omnibus from 2004. Consisting of three erotically themed segments (directed by Wong, Antonioni, and Soderbergh), it was a film with great potential that just....fizzled. Though there were many acceptable connections between Eros and Happy Together (Wong, Christopher Doyle, Chen Chang, etc.), nobody picked up on the Caetano Veloso link, whose music is heard in both films. With three directors and an international cast to choose from, there were many possibilities of films to link to for this week's quiz. As we're still in the first half of the round, I'll keep it relatively simple. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck! |

I was actually idly watching the pictured movie when I read this post. I saw the shot only minutes later.

I don't think your email is working correctly. I tried to send you the answer to this weeks film twice and had it bounce back.

Not sure what the problem is. You can try filmbrain@gmail.com if the Verizon address doesn't work.
