Tossup

A 1975 film from this country opens with a montage of war footage set to a jazzy pop song that says “oh yeah!” in honor of “the ones who” do various things. This country’s biggest hit of 2023, which follows a 1940s housewife who fights its patriarchy after receiving her voter’s card, is titled There’s Still Tomorrow. A 2018 magical realist film from this country follows a peasant boy who doesn’t age over (15[1])20 years. White-rimmed glasses were the trademark of the first woman nominated for a Best Director Oscar, who made this country’s films Swept Away, Love & Anarchy, and Seven Beauties. This country’s national film awards, which are nicknamed the (*) “Davids,” have never awarded a Best Director prize to its women directors, such as Lina Wertmüller and Alice Rohrwacher (“ah-LEE-chay ROHR-vah-kehr”). The “Women’s Tales” anthology is produced by a brand from this country, Miu Miu. For 10 points, only seven women have won a Golden Lion at what country’s premier film festival in Venice? ■END■
