Sound Clip Trivia
Round 1, Week 4

Nope last week wasn't Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, it was Bela Tarr's Damnation.


(Vali Kerekes)


Though to be fair, that is quite the David Lynch-sounding cabaret singer doing her own little impersonation of Monica Vitti. But for me, Tarr's out-of-tune piano is unmistakable.


So this week I will once again hope that things will be slightly easier. The music themed round continues and that hopefully will not drive a person like you crazy.



And for extra points, name all four people in the clip.


Once again, send answers to filmboblog@gmail.com.
