Tossup

One work by this director cuts from a maid blowing out candles on a rejected birthday cake to the protagonist exhaling cigarette smoke. In that work by this director, a character tells her mother that she threw up multiple times the prior night as her father listens to music by Alexandra Streliski. In another work by this director, the camera silently cuts between a woman running on a beach and her realizing that her friend’s husband is the man who had previously assaulted her. A work by this director ends with the protagonist discovering that her sister has constructed a floor in her (*) dollhouse out of human teeth; that work was the second of two miniseries this director made for HBO based on novels by Gillian Flynn and Liane Moriarty, respectively. For 10 points, name this Canadian director of Sharp Objects and the first season of Big Little Lies. ■END■
