Round 5: Tossup 11

In a film by a writer-director with this first name, an actor known by the mononym Raimu plays a baker who is disillusioned when his wife abandons him for a young lover. A string seems to tie itself around an artist with this first name in Maya Deren’s abandoned short film Witch’s Cradle. An author with this first name adapted a 1930s trilogy of plays consisting of Marius, Fanny, and César (15[1])into screenplays, and immortalized his home region of Provence in the novels-turned-films My Father’s Glory, Manon des Sources (“day soorss”), and Jean de Florette. An artist with this first name glued seven obscene puns in white text onto cardboard phonograph disks called (*) “rotoreliefs” to create the short film Anemic Cinema. It’s not Emmanuel, but among the cameos in René Clair’s Entr’acte (“on-TRACT”) is an artist with this first name who is blasted with water while playing chess. For 10 points, give this first name of an artist who credited his first film to his female alter ego (10[1])Rrose Sélavy ■END■
