2014 New Year's Day Drawing

[Minkin]

With very little guess work at all (went one number up from the 3009 Chaplin post), I managed to find the new years clue a little bit early..


Too tired to attempt to identify anything, so you better have all the answers awaiting for me once I wake up.
Well, other than: Scanners, Red River, Red Sun (1971), Tati boxset, umbrella (of Cherbourg?), four beatles (didn't Ian say that A Hard Day's Night might have been up for grabs recently?), a California Raisin, and a beach party at what can only be Corman Beach

[kieslowski]

A Raisin In The Sun?
Angel with wings and bell = It's a Wonderful Life?
Picnic at Hanging Rock

[ellipsis7]

PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK obviously....

[Minkin]

I'm fairly certain the Red Sun is Red Sun - don't know anything about it, but Criterion + Mifune = likely release.

Oh god, that better not be It's a Wonderful Life... I absolutely hate that film.

Also, one of the angels is wearing a Donkey Skin (Awesome, as its perhaps my favorite Demy film!)
Alright, I'll go to bed now.

Balgan mahura (Red Scarf, 1964)

[NABOB OF NOWHERE]

Jazz on a Summer's Day?

[FrauBlucher]

HHmmm, what and who are the folks having the picnic? One looks like an escaped con.

[domino harvey]

Crit passes up all those Sony titles but goes after A Raisin in the Sun and possibly It's A Wonderful Life? Ugh

[rockysds]

Bay of Angels

[Calvin]

A Brighter Summer's Day, perhaps?

[NABOB OF NOWHERE]

One of the Angel's looks somewhat Felliniesque -more voluptuous with possibly a fur stole? Is that a Sadako Ringu hairdo at the picnic?

[FrauBlucher]

Anything to suggest A Place in the Sun?

[Buttery Jeb]

Saul Bass' Phase IV (Yes, they look like beetles; but there's four of them and they're crawling towards a picnic. They might be supposed to represent ants.)

[Minkin]

One last before I'm finally out of here for the night/morning.

Giant Garlic on the picnic blanket = That Les Blank Gilroy garlic documentary.

And perhaps I'm seeing things in my tiredness, but is that The Tingler wrapped around one of the angels?

[FrauBlucher]

One of the angels looks likes she's drowning?

[rockysds]

Riot in Cell Block 11

[Ishmael]

On the Beach? Once the Kramer floodgates open, maybe they found it hard to stop.

[britcom68]

Could someone take a guess at the man in the box? That was totally stumps me.

[FrauBlucher]

It was mentioned already. Tatis boxset.

[Askew]

The woman with the knife at the picnic reminds me of Sisters, but this might just be because I want more De Palma on bluray.

[britcom68]

Instead of the saccharine "It's a Wonderful Life" perhaps the angel with the bell is a play on words with "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"- I HATED that film personally though.
Remote chance: The Belles of St. Trinians. Although it's a charming film, I can't see it as a likely Criterion pickup, but until disproven it will be my remote possible choice for this clue as the film itself was an P-P Archers release and the rights are in flux after Searle's death at the end of 2012.

[FrauBlucher]

The face of the keyboard player looks creepy.

[FrauBlucher]

Also, the little markings on the ground by the picnicers look like little M. Maybe CC will be releasing the most recent restoration of M.

[domino harvey]

What's the deer behind the bush? Is the scrubbing out of blood Polanski's MacBeth?

[colinr0380]

What's the deer behind the bush?

The Deer Hunter? Is that a possibility?
