Round 2: Tossup 12

In a surreal sequence by this director, a man dances with a tubelight before slicking back his hair and re-enacting a crime boss’s dialogue from an earlier scene, all while lip-syncing to the scene’s soundtrack. A film by this director introduces (-5[1])a blind woman with a shot framing her smiling in a three-way bathroom mirror. The song “Memo From Turner” was written for a Borgesian (15[1])psychedelic gangster film by this director; that film’s poster displays the tagline, “Vice. And Versa.” above two pictures each of James Fox and (*) Mick Jagger. This filmmaker, (10[1])who shot (10[2])and co-directed Performance, (10[3])opened another film with a sequence that cuts from a photo of a church to a shot of a creek reflecting a girl wearing a red raincoat. That 1973 film by this director enraged Warren Beatty by intercutting shots of a couple wearing clothes and their intercourse. For 10 points, name this director who adapted a Venetian horror story by Daphne du Maurier into (10[1])the thriller Don’t Look Now. ■END■
