Round 1: Tossup 2

A bank robber from this city chops wood as he plots revenge on the cop who killed his Ukrainian girlfriend in the film Revanche. In a film by Liliana Cavani, a woman played by Charlotte Rampling starts a violent relationship in this city with an ex-officer working as a night porter. Seemingly unrelated scenes about residents of this city make up the film (-5[1])71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance. Two cops in this city realize that a huge shadow belongs to an old balloon seller in a film whose opening credits play over a close-up on a soundboard and vibrating (*) strings. In the final shot of a film set in this city, a man leans on a car at frame left and looks down a path lined with trees at a woman walking towards the camera. That film climaxes with a chase in the sewers of this city, where a tavern concert led to its score by Anton Karas on zither. For 10 points, name this (10[1])city where Harry Lime talks “dots” (0[1])and the cuckoo clock on the Riesenrad Ferris wheel in Carol Reed’s The Third Man. ■END■
