Tossup

In one work, this writer observed that “the point is not to direct someone, but to direct oneself.” This writer contrasted “cinema,” or photographic reproductions of theater, with “cinematography,” which he defined as “writing with (15[1])images in movement” throughout a work collecting his aphorisms on film philosophy. In a film by this director, a group of teenage boys taunt an alcoholic by yelling “long live Arnold!” (*) moments before his accidental death. For that film, this director included a wordless scene where an animal being led through (10[1])circus stables (10[1])stops in front of a tiger, a polar bear, a monkey, and an elephant. In that film by this director, Marie’s difficult life in her rural village intersects multiple times with the path (10[1])of the title (10[1])donkey. For 10 points, name this restrained French director of Au Hasard Balthazar. ■END■
