The new twenty:

I was most interested in seeing this because I wanted to see James Frecheville again, after really liking him in Animal Kingdom, and of course I love Naomi Watts and Robin Wright. I liked the three of them fine, but the fourth piece of the puzzle, Xavier Samuel, really didn’t do it for me. He was too much of a weak link for a movie that has, shall we say, a certain ick factor.
Anyway, the color of that water and that shoreline were just so distinctive.

Is that a bee lapping some kind of liquid mixed with blood?
(There’s a future 3x3: Bees/bugs in movies)
Want to say it’s some kind of horror or sci-fi movie.
Upstream Color?
Not sure if you’re right, but based on composition, that’s a really strong guess.
Probably isn’t, because it’s been done. But it’s the thought that jumped out at me when I saw that frame.
Interesting guess, but no, it’s not Upstream Color.
-xtien
Wild guess based upon xtien’s viewing habits…is it Aeon Flux?
It is not Aeon Flux. But I love how people have come to rely upon the transparency of my viewing habits.
Also, it occurs to me that the fly-in-the-eyelash [flylash?] bit from that movie could lead from this image. So this guess works nicely in two ways. Good on you, Kemper!

This should make things clear.
The forty:

Thomas hayden Church Being Kissed And Not Knowing How To Deal With It - Don McKay?
Buzz buzz buzz! It is indeed Don McKay. I’m quite fond of that 20:20.

The eighty-whatever:
You have the conch, @Soren_Hoglund!

“And? I like that.”
Since i’ve just seen High and Low and don’t recall that frame, i’ll go with the only other non period Kurosawa from that era i know: The Bad Sleep Well?
Dind ding ding, we have a winner!

Tony Zhou did a pretty cool every frame a painting on how Kurasoava composes his shots in it:
Over to you @BellaConfusione
Wow, this reminds me again of how little Japanese cinema from that period i know besides the Kurosawa and Ozu canon. This is honestly the only movie i could think of besides High and Low.
Here is a new 20:
Is it 50/50?
It’s not 50/50
Pretty sure that’s Mysterious Skin.
