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 (15[1])disabled girl keeps a secret about one of these objects (15[1])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 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 theatre? ■END■
