Round 9: Tossup 3

A film by this director resurrected a song from the 1987 album Because I Love You called “Gloomy Letter.” For the ending credits of a film that features Ennio Morricone’s song “In Ginocchio da Te,” this director wrote a song in which the protagonist drinks “one glass” of liquor while lamenting having to work for 564 years. The best-known song from this director’s films is titled “The Belt of Faith.” A dreamlike (15[1])opening scene by this director is set in a wheat field where an old woman with a deadpan expression dances to a guitar tune. In a film by this director, a (*) policewoman discovers that a pop song played by a radio station is linked (10[1])to serial femicides. This director referenced students’ use of a pop song about the Liancourt Rocks dispute in a shot of a girl ringing a doorbell after singing “Jessica, only child, Illinois, Chicago.” For 10 points, name this director of a film in which an aria from Handel’s Rodelinda plays over a montage of the Kims getting rid of the Parks’ housekeeper. ■END■
