MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist, and Random Speculation

[TMDaines]

The body looks like it has a Native American's hairstyle/garments.

[perkizitore]

The image is either unique on the web or TinEye is crap!

I feel like I've seen this.

Wiene's Raskolnikov?

[Tommaso]

Hmmm... that set design rather vaguely reminds me of Lubitsch's "Bergkatze", but that is already out in the forthcoming set. I'm pretty clueless, though it curiously does look somewhat familiar...hmmm..... I'd have thought about L'Herbier, but he already has a film out on MoC.

Edit: denti, you may be on the right track....something from that era. Perhaps even from Martin's "Von morgens bis Mitternacht" (unseen by me).

My gut instinct tells me this is Spanish and from 1930.
But I don't know why. I just feels that way.

It's not Jutzi's Mutter Krausens, which would have been a coup, and is of this era.

[perkizitore]

If you two or HerrShreck can't identify this, no-one on this forum will...

[NABOB OF NOWHERE]

Could it be Limite?

[TMDaines]

It's definitely not American Pie or Road Trip. I can confirm that much.

[denti alligator]

Could it be Limite?

Really good guess, but I don't that's it.

[peerpee]

k - it's survived the first hour of Twitter and CCF guesses. I have a second grab from the same film lined up. Will post that in the morning if no-one's got it.

[rwaits]

How about posting a grab from the other film??

[peerpee]

I'll post a grab from the other film when someone gets this one, otherwise it's too confusing.

[peerpee]

Same film, screen grab #2:

Entries via Twitter only please. Any guesses in this thread won't count.

btw. these grabs are not even from the finished encode. They're from a rough BITC DVD-R encoded on the fly.

Do we have any architects around here? I'm guessing that if someone can determine the style of fencing, we can probably guess which country the movie came from.

[manicsounds]

I'm pretty sure I know who the director is, but I really don't know which film it is, as I haven't seen a lot of his work.

[ellipsis7]

Seems to be pieces of broken wooden railing around the body - did it fall down from a balcony above?...

[tojoed]

Here's number 3. Anyone?

[manicsounds]

Well, it looks like my original guess of Bunuel is wrong, as now it seems like something from Russia. (I assume it's Russian....)

[MichaelB]

The bloke in the picture is definitely Rob Brydon.

[Tommaso]

Dammit. If I only remembered the earth sequences of "Aelita" better....

[TMDaines]

Number 4:

[perkizitore]

French, stylized and maybe involves gambling and murder. What is it?

[norrareal1968]

definitely Russian. maybe Eisenstein?

[denti alligator]

Dovzhenko's Ivan?
