(15[1])That film was this director’s first to be produced (15[1])by Emeric Pressburger’s grandson (15[1])and written by John Hodge. In a scene by this director, a song by Underworld plays incessantly as the (*) bedridden protagonist screams at a baby. (10[1])This director (10[1])of Shallow Grave used (10[2])trompe-l’oeil (10[4])techniques (10[1])to frame a shot in which the Habanera from Carmen plays as the protagonist’s feet stick out of a toilet. That film by this director opens with the drums from an Iggy Pop song echoing the protagonist’s footfalls as he remarks, (10[1])“choose life.” For 10 points, name this director who depicted Scottish heroin addicts in Trainspotting. ■END■ (10[1])
