| "You can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. And humanity is just a cracked egg. And the omelet stinks." That's just one of the many darkly philosophical lines spewed from the mouth of David Thewlis' Johnny in Mike Leigh's brilliant but brutal Naked. Though Gina McKee might not have been instantly recognizable (she has only a small role in the film), I thought the particular blueness of the walls (the dominant color of the film) would have been something of a giveaway. Congrats to the few that guessed it. Last week, I extended my natalitious twenty-four hours into a decadent forty-eight, which explains why I never completed my NYFF wrap-up piece. Then came the news earlier today about James Lipton's Parisian pimpin' past, and all bets were off. Check back tomorrow. This week: I may have used this film in the past -- I honestly can't recall. Regardless, I'm fairly confident the image is unique. Name the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck! |

I actually thought was a young Charlotte Gainsbourg in last week's screen cap.

The omelet line is a paraphrase of Orwell, btw.

Are you referring to his "Where's the omelet" response to Lenin? I hadn't thought of that. . .
