I’ve got it: “The Movie with No Lighting Budget, Two Actors and a Stationary Camera”
Oh, yeh, that’s Son of Saul.
The narrow FOV threw me off…I didn’t remember it was shot in Academy ratio.
Apparently, Charmtrap is the only other QT3er to watch the movie that won the 2015 Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards.
Son of Saul. Absolutely unforgettable movie about a man trying to grasp a slice of moral redemption in the middle of a death camp.

A great great film, but probably as “feel-bad” a movie as there is. It gives The Act of Killing a run for its money on that score.

At first glance I thought it was Richard Dreyfuss as the slick aluminum siding salesman in Tin Men, but I’m going to with Richard Gere in American Gigolo.
Looks like Guy Pearce, I’m going to say LA Confidential
Good guesses, but no to all of them.
That’s from the movie Let Me Just Finish My Drink First.

Willem Dafoe, possible 60’s-70’s period vehicle?
Mississippi Burning?

It’s Ferrara’s Pasolini biopic.

Which would also fit my Dafoe 70’s theorum
It is, indeed, Abel Ferrara’s Pasolini biopic, entitled, rather boringly, Pasolini. Though really, it’s barely a biopic. If you haven’t seen any of Pasolini’s films or know anything about his life coming in, this movie isn’t going to fill you in. It doesn’t seem to follow any discernible timeline, and Ferrara doesn’t seem very interested in documenting a life.
In a lot of ways, this feels like an Abel Ferrara movie inspired by the life of Pasolini. Taken that way, it’s pretty good. And it’s worth seeing for Willem Dafoe, who is excellent.
Narrative, as you well know @MrTibbs, is dead. We’re mourning it.

Yeah, I probably mislabeled by calling it a biopic, but I wish more film biographies would take pursue limiting the scope to a handful of significant days instead of spanning decades. Taratino had a cool idea of doing a movie about Elvis but just focusing on the first day he went to Sun Records.
Pasolini unfortunately struggled for nearly half a decade to make it stateside, so I don’t know if many have seen it yet. I love that Willem Dafoe goes out of his way to support auteur work, especially for Paul Schrader, instead of just cashing a paycheck. He commits himself fully every time.
Here’s the new 20:20.

Good guess, but it’s something else.
Looks like early Karl Malden. I Confess?
