Round 1: Tossup 17

In a film by an artist with this surname, a bow-tie unties itself and four bowler hats fly off their wearers, as part of an object-wide revolt against humankind. Stanley Kubrick was an extra in the 1947 anthology Dreams that Money Can Buy, which that artist with this surname made in collaboration with a who’s who of surrealists and Dadaists. A mashup of Dinah Washington’s “This Bitter Earth” and a song by a composer with this surname plays over (15[1])the shot recreating Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss in Shutter Island. Throughout an album by a composer with this surname, passages by Czesław (*) Miłosz (“CHESS-woff MEE-wosh”) and Franz Kafka are read by Tilda Swinton. (10[1])Hostiles and Waltz with Bashir were scored by a composer with this surname who wrote the song that plays over the opening and closing of Arrival; that song is “On the Nature of Daylight.” For 10 points, give this surname of the German-born composer of The Blue Notebooks and Vivaldi Recomposed. ■END■
