Round 9: Tossup 14

This film’s end credits, which are projected underwater, are set to the notes of a music box with a toy ballerina. Near the end of this film, a lighter flame is the only light source for a surreal sequence that depicts the spirit of a woman who had hid her suicide note in the style of a children’s game called “getting warmer.” This film’s director cameos as a cabbie whose passenger, an African-American targeted by a racist children’s song, is named Gbatokai (“guh-BAH-toh-kye”). Anthony Dod (*) Mantle’s handheld camerawork for this film was motivated by its director being the first to sign a “vow of chastity” he drafted with a compatriot. A hoax radio segment inspired this film’s inciting incident, in which Christian announces that he and his late twin sister (10[1])Linda (10[1])were sexually abused by their father. For 10 points, Thomas Vinterberg launched Dogme 95 (10[1])with what film about a family party? ■END■
