Is that movie any good guys?

The Wailing? I liked it a lot. When I saw it was 2.5 hours I assumed it would be a really slow burn, but it's actually not the case, the pacing is really good and you never get a feeling of "come on, just move along already". Definitely recommended.

Thanks, I'll check it out~

Argh, my new screenshot is on the thread's previous page. Here it is again:

Toni Collette and Jesse Plemons: must be I'm Thinking of Ending Things.

I haven't seen it, and I heard some comments that book it is based on is pretty crap, but Charlie Kaufman is usually a good bet.

I knew I recognized the face of that young woman (Jessie Buckley): from the trailer for Men, of course. She was also in Chernobyl, apparently; is she the pregnant woman who sneaks in to be with her radioactive husband?

Iâ€™m not sure about that, but you named my screenshot correctly. Your go!

I wonder if this will prove difficult or not. If someone has seen the movie this should be a good clue; otherwise you'll have to work it out from the actors in the upcoming shots.

Total shot in the dark, but is it that Depression Trilogy film Nymphomaniac?

Snarky · Fri 24/06/2022 08:59:29

No.

Maybe this'll help:

We're starting to have most of the cast filled in at this point:

Now you pretty much have all elements of the movie, I don't think more screens are going to help. As a hint, the two actors seen here (one of whom died tragically) are well known for working with this particular director.

Is anyone at least able to identify any of the actors? By role if not by name?

milkanannan · Tue 28/06/2022 15:49:08

Wish I could, but Iâ€™ve got nothing. Looks like Michelle Pfeiffer and Margot Robbie had a child.

Well, the guy has had a pretty solid career as a character actor, usually playing slimy bureaucrats, cheating husbands and similar parts (he's an undercover HYDRA agent within SHIELD in Ant-Man, for example), kind of the opposite of his role in this film (which was his breakout).

The woman in the last two shots was one of the most prominent indie actresses of the era. She later transitioned into directing, making one fairly well-known movie, but was murdered before it came out.

The woman in the foreground of the second shot starred in a very high-profile TV show, which recently got a movie prequel.

Waitress?

Snarky · Tue 28/06/2022 19:56:57

You're on the right track. The female lead is indeed Adrienne Shelly, who later directed Waitress.

Frodo · Tue 28/06/2022 20:19:23

Factotum?

Snarky · Tue 28/06/2022 20:30:33

No, much earlier than that. The movie came out in 1990, so the fashions reflect the time it was made, more or less.

I only have seen the male actor in the last pic, but don't know his name and incentive to try to find it is low

Frodo · Wed 29/06/2022 17:35:17

Trust?

Snarky · Wed 29/06/2022 18:47:18

Yes, Trust. Well done.

Both Adrienne Shelly and Martin Donovan starred in a number of Hal Hartley movies, and had their breakthroughs in them. This is the only one with both of them, though.

I am surprised nobody recognized Edie Falco, from The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie (and most recently as Hillary Clinton in American Crime Story).
