Round 3: Tossup 8
At the end of a film set primarily in this sort of place, a close-up on the protagonist smiling for the first time at a boy is followed by the sound of a gunshot as the boy runs away. A handheld tracking shot of two boys sprinting away from a train to this sort of place opens the film Diamonds of the Night. The title art dealer boards a train to one of these places in the final shot of Joseph Losey’s film Mr. Klein. Tim Blake Nelson’s film The Gray (*) Zone is set in one of these places, whose sounds are mostly heard offscreen in a film scored by Mica Levi that features several shots captured through infrared photography. While being taken to this sort of place, a friar based on Louis Malle’s (“mal’s”) real-life teacher tells his pupils the title line of Au Revoir les Enfants (“au ruv-WAR layz on-FAWN”). For 10 points, Son of Saul is set in what sort of place overseen by the protagonist of Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest? ■END■
