Tossup

A 1966 film’s background fades to black as two men discuss this sort of object over beers at a Bavarian pub. The camera revolves around one of these objects in Toshio Matsumoto’s film Ātman. An intellectually disabled girl keeps a secret about one of these objects after a film’s protagonist buys her a new yo-yo. In that film, one of these objects is created in an office with a surreal doorway to hair flowing in water and glass panels depicting the Vitruvian Man and Langer’s lines. In a 1964 horror film, an old woman obtains one of these objects by tricking a ghostly figure into falling into a pit in a field full of (*) reeds. An engineer played by Tatsuya Nakadai uses one of these objects to seduce his wife in a film that was its director’s third, after Pitfall and Woman in the Dunes, to team with composer Tōru (10[1])Takemitsu and author Kōbō Abe. For 10 points, Kaneto Shindo’s Onibaba and Hiroshi Teshigahara’s The Face of Another involve what objects used in Noh (10[1])theatre? ■END■ (10[1])
