TUESDAY TRIVIA 7/9/13 QUESTION #2 CLUE The first film that will show during this year’s MIFF from the Rediscovery Section will be “UN FLIC” (English title: “A COP”) from director Jean-Pierre Melville. It will be 40 years on August 2nd since Jean-Pierre Melville (born Grumbach but chose Melville after the American author as his nom de guerre during World War II) passed away from a heart attack at age 55 in 1973. He directed only 14 films during his career and most of those he also wrote. He has been described as a godfather to the film directors of the French New Wave such as Jean Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut. He also continues to be a significant filmmaker inspiring further generations of filmgoers and filmmakers. Many of his films have been re-released theatrically (Railroad Square Cinema has screened several) and/or for home viewing. Multiple filmmakers have either used his scripts or have specifically credited his influence on their films. Which of these directors has not credited Jean-Pierre Melville on one of his films? A. Jim Jarmusch B. Neil Jordan C. Volker Schlondorf D. Martin Scorcese E. Quentin Tarantino CLUE: Neil Jordan used Melville’s script for “BOB LE FLAMBEUR” to make his film “THE GOOD THIEF” (2002) with Nick Nolte in the title role.
