Tossup

In a film by this director, a man walking on a bar countertop kills the bartender by slashing his neck and face with the spur of his boot. In another film by this director, the camera pans up and briefly holds on the face of the main character as Faith performs a rendition of PJ Harvey’s “Hardly Wait”; that film ends with the main character pulling his love interest out of a cop car and kissing her as the new year begins. During a shootout with police in one film by this director, sun streaming into a (*) motel room through bullet holes burns the skin of the central group. This director, who cast Jenny Wright and Bill Paxton as vampires roaming the south in a 1987 neo-western, directed a film in which the Ralph Fiennes-played Lenny Nero illegally sells discs containing people’s memories. For 10 points, name this American director of Near Dark and Strange Days. ■END■ (10[1])
