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 (15[1])Torment. A quote from this work is inscribed on the bucket of feces that Swoff burns in (15[1])Jarhead. At the time of his death, Krzysztof Kieślowski (“SHEESH-toff kyesh-LOFF-skee”) was writing a trilogy of scripts inspired by this work. (15[1])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 (15[1])author’s (15[1])“quartet.” Bruno Ganz (15[1])and Matt (15[1])(*) Dillon recreate a painting inspired by this work in The House that Jack Built, which Lars von Trier (10[1])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 (10[1])(“seven”). For 10 points, the first Italian (10[1])feature adapted what work that inspired the titles of Salò’s four parts, like “Circle of Blood” and “Antinferno”? ■END■

ANSWER: The Divine Comedy [or Divina Commedia; accept Dante’s Inferno, L’Enfer, or Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno until “Antinferno” is read; accept Dante’s Purgatorio or Dante’s Paradiso] (Serge Bromberg turned Clouzot’s Inferno into a documentary after being stuck in an elevator with Clouzot’s widow. The quote on the bucket in Jarhead is “abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”)
