Round 4: Tossup 22

Note to players: The answer is a first name with counterparts across languages, like “Peter,” “Pierre,” and “Pedro;” you may give any variation of the name in the languages used in the films. In a 1965 film that was its director’s first in color, a character with this name meets the androgynous “guru” “Bhishma,” who instills in her a craving for sangria. Another character with this name conceives her estranged daughter Antía by having sex with the fisherman Xoan (“sho-AHN”) on red seats in a train cabin. Three stories by Alice Munro inspired a 2016 melodrama titled for this name directed (15[1])by Pedro Almodóvar. (15[1])The three most famous roles of a comedienne with this first name were a happy-go-lucky sex worker, a housewife who hosts a (*) séance, and a clown bought by the strongman Zampano. That Chaplinesque actress with this first name starred in La Strada and Nights of Cabiria by her husband Federico Fellini. In 2023, nude scenes involving a female character with this first name were the subject of a 500 million dollar lawsuit brought by Olivia Hussey. For 10 points, give this name (10[1])of the heroine of a Franco Zeffirelli film based on a Shakespearean tragedy. ■END■
