A different actor plays this man each time a documentarian meets him in a 2024 Quentin Dupieux (“doop-YUH”) film (-5[1])whose title stretches out his name (15[1])to (15[1])repeat a vowel (15[1])six times. (15[2])This man shouted, “my idea for a film is exactly that! It is as if he had stolen it!” after knocking over the projector (15[2])at the premier of Joseph Cornell’s film Rose Hobart. Alejandro (15[1])(*) Jodorowsky (“hoh-doh-ROFF-skee”) planned to cast this man as the (10[2])Padishah Emperor (10[1])in Dune. (10[2])This man, who storyboarded the film Destino during World War II, modeled a trademark physical feature on that of the actor Adolphe Menjou. This man created a dream sequence for Hitchcock’s Spellbound and disowned his work (-5[1])on his friend’s film L’Âge d’Or (“lodge door”).
