Round 8: Tossup 21

Two answers required. In a film by a director from one of these two countries set in the other, a PI discovers that an English diplomat’s wife is having an affair with a chimpanzee. In 2024, a director from one of these two countries made a gender-swapped remake of his film Serpent’s Path in the other. In a 2019 film by a director from one of these two countries set in the other, the wife of Ethan Hawke’s character disputes her actress mother’s memoir The Truth. These two countries co-produced the notoriously erotic film (*) In the Realm of the Senses. (10[1])The title of a 1960 film about student activists in one of these two countries was inspired by a 1956 documentary from the other, Night and Fog. A nonlinear 1959 film about these two countries (10[2])is about an actress and architect known simply as “Her” and “Him.” For 10 points, name these two countries central to Hiroshima mon amour. ■END■
