New Years Drawing 2017

[domino harvey]

Do we think they stopped including upgrades in these drawings?

Considering Jeanne Dielman is whipping up dinner in the pic, there's at least one included

Then perhaps the scene in the window is the start of a good morning, Ozu's Good Morning.

I feel like a clue for Good Morning would have to be a TV, no?

[FrauBlucher]

Sure. Just reaching.

That cooking lady doesn't look much like Jeanne Dielman to me in the face.

The outfit is an exact match:

[ellipsis7]

I guess there's nothing in there that in any way resembles ZABRISKIE POINT, shucks?!...

[mteller]

clock = What Time Is It There?
people have faces = Visage
gap in the pans = The Hole
no clouds outside = The Wayward Cloud
no one is sleeping alone = I Don't Want to Sleep Alone
the T is waving goodbye = Goodbye Dragon Inn

Yay, finally getting some Tsai Ming-liang!

[Rayon Vert]

Both the D and T are waving goodbye possibly. The Long Goodbye?

[FrauBlucher]

Kino has The Long Goodbye.

[jwd5275]

It could be any film with a goodbye or greeting prominent in it, from Farewell My Concubine to Hello Dolly. The letter T (and maybe the R) is likely key to which one.

sdt wild guess = Simon of the DeserT

I imagine the tombstone's a double-clue for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

[NABOB OF NOWHERE]

Surprised that there doesn't seem to be anything that could be construed as a Kiarostami title.

[Cinephrenic]

Night of the Living Dead is public domain. Not that they wouldn't release it, but it's a far stretch.

[Luke M]

I really want the Roman with the fanny pack to be Roman Holiday.

[FrauBlucher]

Night of the Living Dead is public domain. Not that they wouldn't release it, but it's a far stretch.

This just got a 4K restoration by the Film Foundation. It's surely possible for a Criterion release. Plus, Romero was at the Filmstruck launch party.

[Never Cursed]

I feel like a clue for Good Morning would have to be a TV, no?

Perhaps, but I'd say it's certainly possible, especially as it was just restored by Shochiku.

[Cinephrenic]

Promising indeed. It would be nice to see a decent print of this classic. Roman Holiday has been absent from the Blu-ray market for years now. It is a seminal film.

[vidussoni]

sdt wild guess = Simon of the DeserT

That's an R, not a D

[mteller]

I saw a good guess for "J" (the window, tree, sun) on another forum: Quince Tree of the Sun. The "pane" lines on the window could correlate to the grids that the artist uses.

[reeCe]

Could the Caesar with a fanny pack be The Belly of an Architect? He's pretty focused on Augustus' stomach in there.

[Cinephrenic]

They didn't spill out too many films this year in the drawing. Kind of disappointing.

[eastguy]

I saved this fake cover 4 years ago. Thought it was an interesting attempt. Feels weird that it's really on the way. Thought I'd share, since the drawing reminded me this morning. Apologies, if this isn't the place.

[DeprongMori]

The musical notes around the Cuban flags seems to pretty clearly point to Buena Vista Social Club, especially since Criterion is doing Wenders's catalog and the film is on the Criterion Channel in Filmstruck.

My wild-ass guess for the window scene is Terence Davies' Sunset Song. Possibly Murnau's Sunrise, but there seems little point to yet another release of this.

[Swift]

A-Team box set finally!!

The Roman guy is Hannibal.
S in a wedding dress represents the famous scene where Dwight Schultz wears a wedding dress.

D is Dirk Benedict with the letter representing his Face.
And that's obviously Mr. T at the end.

[ianungstad]

The sequel to Buena Vista Social Club (produced by Wenders and directed by Lucy Walker) premieres at Sundance in a couple of weeks. Could the double flag with notes indicate that they are doing both?
