Criterion on Social Media

It's not Thief is it? Probably been 10-12 years since I've seen it, but looking at the trailer it looks like Caan wears a darker coat like that in several scenes.

[jwd5275]

Is it something random from one of the Qatsi films?

[Gregory]

I'm pretty sure it's not The China Syndrome. I know those sets pretty well. The power plant control room doesn't have that type of computer, and the news room is more TV monitors, typewriters, and rotary-dial phones.

[Brian C]

So nevermind, I don't think it's Thief. The whole movie is up on YouTube and while I only skimmed through it, I don't see anything that matches that shot.

[bainbridgezu]

I think it might be the newspaper office where Ewan McGregor works in Shallow Grave. Anybody have a copy to confirm?

Wasn't this hinted at recently? You might be right...

[swo17]

Shallow Grave is definitely coming at some point.

[jwd5275]

Think that is it. Haven't finished scanning it on YouTube to find the exact shot, but there is a big yellow something on one of the keyboards and the chairs are similar..

[Feego]

It's Shallow Grave.

[chrisandy]

Call me daft but.. b & w vs. color? Is it something that happens in the movie?

That movie isn't 2.35:1 though

That movie isn't 2.35:1 though

It's called zooming and cropping.

[eerik]

That movie isn't 2.35:1 though

Why should it be 2.35:1?

[cdnchris]

Why not? It seems to be throwing people off. And while I haven't seen the film in a while it looks like the frame would be a close-up so aspect ratio means nothing.

[bugsy_pal]

That's it! Well done...

[duck duck]

This discovery wasn't as impressive as it was hinted at on the New Years and the B&W still comes straight off the IMDb page... Didn't these used to be harder, like the umbrella that no one seemed to guess?

The umbrella was guessed.

[swo17]

They do lots of clues that are guessed within seconds. This one took over an hour for someone to figure out.

[Drucker]

It does NOT perfectly match the peaks on the cover of Night Train to Munich...so Gold Rush?

[Harmonov]

No one has commented on how much they already hate the cover. You guys are getting soft...

[Matt]

Either Gold Rush or Nanook, which they've been hinting at for some time.

[Drucker]

I thought the supposed Nanook clue turned out to be Letter Never Sent?

[Matt]

Ah, so it was.
