Tossup

In a sequence whose left half features clip art, this director’s name appears four times: backwards, upside down, mirrored, (15[1])and melting beside a fur smiley face. For a sequence in a film by this director, German artist Thorstein Fleisch shocked metal cutouts with 30,000 volts; that sequence co-designed by Japanese artist Tom Kan was plagiarized by Hype Williams in his music video for a Kanye song. Midway through this director’s debut feature, a deafening noise introduces countdown text telling the audience they have 30 seconds to quit watching it. A bird’s-eye shot of a bloody woman staggering through (*) snow precedes the ending credits of a film by this director, despite it being the film’s opening shot. In that film, this director of I Stand Alone placed text in Futura reading (10[1])“a French film and proud of it” over the Tricolore behind a DJ in a dance hall. For 10 points, what director of Enter the Void (10[1])placed opening credits 45 minutes into his film Climax? ■END■
