Please don't tease me with the possibility of a Blu reissue of the Criterion Straw Dogs. Please.

Charlie Chaplin City Lights?

Could be Three Seasons, Three Seas, O Brother, lol etc.

Definitely more thought-provoking than what we got in the last issue, but it's a bit aggravating.

Might be just a sequence of events rather than 3 separate C's.

Could it be a Chaplin shorts collection? I'm not familiar enough with them to know if in one he gets caught in a bear trap, another he gets handcuffed, another he gets jailed...

Yes. It's a Studio Canal title.

If 3 different clues, Limite maybe for one?

It's the Qatsi Trilogy... three caught Cs.

I don't remember, is there a beartrap in L'argent? If so it could be a trio of their remaining unreleased Bressons...

Edit: I actually second Quatsi.....

Brilliant.

Maybe a Pickpocket upgrade?

My money's on this guess. Very punny, Criterion, very punny.

lol

If that's what it is, then I'll be more than satisfied. Been in talks for way too long.

Well done.

Impressive.

Well played. Best clue since Lean-Coward, although gotten much quicker.

azechiel wrote:It's the Qatsi Trilogy... three caught Cs.

Very nicely done.

Wow.

The clue is so awesome, I'm just now feeling the letdown that I really don't care much about those films. Ah, well.

Is on the Waterfront (May, iirc) the only 2012 clue left unfulfilled, other than this one?

Grey Gardens

I think the new one took so long because I assume most people haven't heard "Qatsi" pronounced out loud. This is my guess for December given the speed of the last few clues being announced. Still hoping for City Lights too though, would make a great New Years film.

Unless you've seen the film, in which case the drone has been pounded into your head with a Glass hammer.
