Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 17, Week 11

Ok, perhaps last week's quiz was a bit too difficult. For whereas few had problems spotting La Cérémonie from the week before, only five people were able to identify Chabrol's Au Coeur du Mensonge (The Color of Lies). Made just four years after La Cérémonie, it's the start, in my opinion, of a somewhat dry period for Chabrol, where his films become increasingly more by-the-numbers. (That said, I think last year's A Girl Cut in Two is a remarkable return to form.)

A tale of infidelity and a horrific crime, The Color of Lies suffers from thin characters -- nobody is developed much beyond the superficial, which is a shame given the rich subject matter. That's Jacques Gamblin and Antoine de Caunes in the photo, the latter of whom had a brief part in the truly awful (and awfully creepy) Mr. Bean's Holiday, which I had the misfortune to see on an airplane.

In other Filmbrain-related news, I've been preparing for an interview with Hong Sang-soo for the DVD release of Woman on the Beach, which New Yorker is releasing in December. I'm looking forward to it. And for those that have been asking, my Synecdoche, New York review (if you can call it that) is, Buddha-willing, just a few days away.

This week: Brittany by way of New York City? This is from the final scene of a truly magnificent film, though one that's not without its detractors. I promise that next week's quiz, the final one, won't be as difficult. Name the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck!
