Round 4: Tossup 7
This literary work inspired an unfinished film that itself inspired Yuri Suzuki’s design of MUBI’s ident; Henri-Georges Clouzot (“awn-ree-zhorzh cloo-ZOH”) gave this work’s title to that film, whose script was adapted into Claude Chabrol’s Torment. A quote from this work is inscribed on the bucket of feces that Swoff burns in Jarhead. At the time of his death, Krzysztof Kieślowski (“SHEESH-toff kyesh-LOFF-skee”) was writing a trilogy of scripts inspired by this work. A Rilke (“RIL-kuh”) quote ends a six-minute film inspired by this work that took Stan Brakhage (“BRACK-idge”) six years to create and is titled for its author’s “quartet.” Bruno Ganz and Matt (*) Dillon recreate a painting inspired by this work in The House that Jack Built, which Lars von Trier based on this work. “Air on the G String” plays over a montage in a library where Detective Somerset peruses this work, including its illustrations by Gustave Doré, in Se7en (“seven”). For 10 points, the first Italian feature adapted what work that inspired the titles of Salò’s four parts, like “Circle of Blood” and “Antinferno”? ■END■
