LEVEL 2 — 🎬 FILM ENTHUSIAST
The Film Enthusiast category is Level Two of our quiz. It is for people who, when they really like a film, keep thinking about it for days, depending on how much they enjoyed it. Maybe the next day they even Google the name of the leading actress to see what other films she has appeared in.
For them, we have 12 questions about 12 different films. We travel from comedies and war films to science fiction, from Europe and the United States all the way to Bora Bora. The films range from the 1930s to the present day and include cult and independent films, British comedies, Hollywood studio productions and science fiction.
Arthur Askey, Mel Ferrer, Vladimir Antolek-Oresek, Graham Chapman, Nigel Terry, Sean Connery, Joss Ackland, Michael York, Clive Owen, Kirk Barker, Charlie Hunnam, Richard Basehart, Andrew Burt, Richard Harris, Edward Atterton and Bradley James have all played King Arthur at different times in films or on television. We are looking for the actor who played him in 2017 in Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
We stay in Britain and move on to director Jonathan Glazer. Glazer began his career directing music videos for artists such as Massive Attack, Blur, Radiohead, Jamiroquai, Nick Cave and U.N.K.L.E., before making his first feature film, the underrated Sexy Beast, in 2000. His latest film, The Zone of Interest, is a powerful film that makes the horror of Auschwitz felt without showing it directly, using sound, silence and the cold everyday life of the people living next to it. Here, however, we are interested in his science-fiction film Under the Skin, in which a mysterious and attractive woman seduces lonely men.
In this question, we are looking for the leading actress of a film that has become a cult classic, a wild and unforgettable mix of musical, comedy, horror and parody. Directed by Jim Sharman and based on the stage musical by Richard O'Brien, the film stars Tim Curry in his film debut as the unforgettable Dr. Frank-N-Furter, along with Barry Bostwick, Richard O'Brien and Meat Loaf. The title of the film is The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
We return to Britain, this time to one of the country's most successful films at the box office, Four Weddings and a Funeral, written by Richard Curtis. He also wrote and directed Love Actually, The Boat That Rocked and About Time. For many years, he wrote episodes of Mr. Bean, and he also wrote films such as Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary and Mamma Mia!, as well as films that are not necessarily comedies, such as War Horse and Yesterday. He is an extremely prolific writer. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) was a huge success and became the first British film to win the César Award for Best Foreign Film. Hugh Grant had already made several films by that time, but this was the film that made him internationally famous, while it also opened many doors for Richard Curtis.
We now travel to the beautiful and exotic islands of Bora Bora in French Polynesia, where four American couples are spending their holidays. The first couple is Faizon Love and Kali Hawk. Although they begin the film as a couple, they soon become tired of each other because of their different ages and interests, and eventually break up. Then there are Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis, who have been together since high school but have grown apart and are considering separating. Through therapy, however, they try to find their relationship again. Finally, there are Jason and Cynthia, played by Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell, a troubled couple dealing with communication problems, Jason's controlling behavior and difficulties having a child. But they eventually try to save their relationship. What we are looking for here is the fourth and main couple.
And now we come to a very different kind of film, a 1979 movie that caused a great deal of controversy when it was released. Caligula began as an ambitious historical film, with a script by Gore Vidal, but so many changes were made that Vidal eventually asked for his name to be removed from the film. Maria Schneider, who had been chosen to play Drusilla, also left the production only a few days after filming began, following a disagreement over the amount of nudity required for her costume during the funeral scene for Tiberius. Things became even more complicated when director Tinto Brass was fired during the editing of the film. In Italy, Brass took producer Bob Guccione to court and prevented the movie from being released without his permission. Guccione, the founder of Penthouse magazine, later had Giancarlo Lui film additional hardcore sex scenes, which changed the tone and style of the movie even further. Penthouse had already helped finance major films such as Chinatown, The Longest Yard and The Day of the Locust, but Caligula was the first film it produced on its own. Despite all the controversy surrounding its production, Caligula became a commercial success and is still regarded as one of the most successful adult films ever made.
Duel in the Sun is one of those films in which producer David O. Selznick had so much control that it is often seen almost as his film rather than the director's. He constantly rewrote the script, even changing scenes that had already been completed, and insisted on reshoots to shape the movie exactly as he wanted. This eventually caused problems with the original director, King Vidor, who was forced to leave the production and was replaced by William Dieterle, although the two men remained friends. Selznick even brought in Josef von Sternberg for a short time as a lighting expert, with the unusual task of making the film's star look more beautiful. But Vidor and Dieterle were far from the only directors involved. Selznick himself directed additional scenes, while Sidney Franklin, Otto Brower and William Cameron Menzies also worked on the film. Selznick's interventions became legendary, and Duel in the Sun offers some memorable examples. King Vidor disliked the scene in which Gregory Peck's character blows up a train, but Selznick insisted that it remain in the final cut. He even brought Alfred Newman in to make changes to Dmitri Tiomkin's musical score. By the time the film was finished, Selznick's influence had reached almost every part of it.
For this question, we move to an unusual science-fiction adventure based on a clever script by Max Botkin and Kerry Williamson. When Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola took on What Happened to Monday (2017), the only thing he asked producer Raffaella De Laurentiis was to change the main character from a man to a woman. This gave the actress we are looking for the chance to play all seven roles in the film, as the seven sisters. Glenn Close plays the villain of the story, while Willem Dafoe plays their father.
A famous mirror scene involving the Marx Brothers is one of the most memorable moments in classic comedy, though its history is a little different from what we usually think. Groucho and Harpo Marx stand on opposite sides of an empty frame, with Harpo copying Groucho's every movement as if he were his reflection, creating an amazingly accurate display of synchronisation. The scene was filmed with the two actors standing in front of a real opening where a mirror would normally have been, without any special visual effect hiding the second actor. And yet, the Marx Brothers did not invent the idea. A similar version had already appeared in Harold Lloyd's The Marathon (1919), while Max Linder had also used the idea in Seven Years Bad Luck (1921). The Marx Brothers' version, however, became the best-known one. The scene came back to life many years later when Harpo Marx repeated it with Lucille Ball on I Love Lucy in 1955. Lucille Ball, dressed like Harpo, tried to copy him with the same precision, creating another unforgettable version of the famous scene.
The highly productive and talented French writer, director and producer Luc Besson has spread his ideas across many different films and has directed some truly memorable and spectacular movies. In one of them, he brings together mummies, pterosaurs, science, magic, crime and Parisian adventure. In this film, the leading actress Louise Bourgoin travels to Egypt to find the mummy of a doctor from the time of Ramses II, hoping to bring him back to life and cure her sister, who is in a coma.
Here we are looking for a truly beautiful woman and an actress who appeared in more than 100 films, from the early 1950s until the second decade of the new millennium. In the film, Tony Curtis and George C. Scott compete for her attention. The film is Not with My Wife, You Don't, directed by Norman Panama in 1966.
And finally, we have four great directors, and we want you to find out which one directed the wonderful film Cocoon in 1985. It is a beautiful film with a carefully chosen cast, a sweet and touching story, a warm atmosphere and beautiful music by James Horner.
