Ohhhh, so close with that first one.

It's based around the Japanese prefecture just under Gunma.

Checking a map and then googling "saitama film" brings up a lot of hits relating to One Punch Man, an entity I am vaguely aware of from internet memes but that I have steadfastly refused to learn anything about. Is that it?

No, but "Saitama" IS half the title in Japanese!

Okay, nobody knows this one. Cat got the closest so over to her if she wants it.

It was "Tonde Saitama" or "Fly Me to the Saitama"... an excellent movie, especially for people who live in/near Saitama like me lol.

I don't have anything, whoever wants my turn can take it.

Dangerous Liaisons?

Looks too traditionally handsome to be Malkovich to me, but that got me looking again and... could that be a young Mickey Rourke?

I highly doubt it. But don't quote me on that... $:-\$

Val....what is it, what's his face...Colin Firth...Valmont?

The woman looks like she might be Keira Knightley, so I'm going to guess (looking at IMDB... Man! She has done a lot of period dramas/romances) The Duchess.

Not at all: wrong movies, wrong actors!

That unibrow, the girl's red cape... That's got to be The Company of Wolves!

Correct, Laura Hunt! An adaption of Angela Carter's novels!

In loving memory of Angela Lansbury.

It's actually an adaptation of a couple of her short stories

To anybody who doesn't know her work, I absolutely recommend checking her out. The collection where these stories appear, The Bloody Chamber, is a great starting point, but my favourite by far is her novel Nights at the Circus. Her prose is just dazzling, especially towards the end of her career (The Bloody Chamber, Nights at the Circus, Wise Children, Black Venus).

So, on with the next film...

Nothing?

Snarky · Sat 22/10/2022 12:32:23

The movie that comes to mind (for whatever reason; I must have seen a still from it that reminds me of the latest image) is that Australian historical revenge drama from a few years back...

Apparently it was called The Nightingale.

Not The Nightingale.
