Tossup

In one film, this director rotated a shot of a woman lying on the grass 360 degrees around the frame while a voice-over notes that woman’s frustration at her husband’s unwillingness to pursue writing. This director recalled being confused by people staring at her in a park during an emotional call with a journalist, only to return to work and remember she was costumed as a neanderthal. This director used Super 8 film to shoot fake (*) home movie footage for a documentary centering on her discovery of both her mother’s affair and her biological (10[1])father, entitled Stories We Tell. In another work by this director, a wide shot captures a character played by Claire Foy trekking through rows of crops to get antibiotics for her daughter Miep; that film was an adaptation of a novel by Miriam Toews. For 10 points, name this Canadian actress-turned-filmmaker that directed Women Talking. ■END■
