Buckaroo takes the square! It is indeed Loving Vincent.
Each of the frames is a separate oil painting by 100+ painters in the style of Van Gogh. The process must have taken years. It’s quite a hallucinatory experience…I recommend having it. The movie itself doesn’t totally work as a drama, but inhabiting this painted world for an hour and a half is pretty cool.
Dr. @Buckaroo is eccentric…I don’t know how he thinks he can cure me when he seems at least as sick as I am.
So my first correct guess was actually a film I haven’t seen!
It wasn’t easy finding a movie which is not on the list (by the way, thank you @charmtrap for being the Guardian of the List!). Here you are, my first 20:20 :
El Secreto de sus Ojos. Great Campanella “Guerra Sucia” period piece.
Holy …! That was fast! I wasn’t even done saving all the pictures! It is indeed El Secreto de sus Ojos, a great film I watched only recently. Ricardo Darin is great in it, and although I didn’t know Soledad Villamil, I’m sure I won’t forget her anytime soon! The film works on two levels, really: the main story with the investigation, and the historical aspect of the Guerra Sucia in Argentina.
“El tipo puede cambiar de todo: de cara, de casa, de familia, de novia, de religion, de Dios. Pero hay una cosa que no puede cambiar, Benjamin: no puede cambiar … de pasion!”. Genial!
And the next frames:
40:40
Coming immediately after the quote above, the great 60:60 frame ('tis the reason I picked up this film):
The 80:80, and the aforementioned Soledad Villamil:
100:100
120:120 (The case is closed)
Great job, @Navaronegun. Your turn!

I forgot Palpy was in that.
Who is Palpy? Ian McDiarmid?
Who else? With digital technology now he will be forever. “No one’s ever gone.”
I just saw Sam Neill in a rewatch of In the Mouth of Madness last night. Seven degrees to Navaronegun today…
“No one’s ever really gone”!
Is it a Greenaway movie, like Prospero’s books?
Ooh, good guess. Also would explain Naravone’s ‘dreamy’ clue. (“We are such stuff as dreams are made on/and our little life is rounded with a sleep”).
IncorrecTartovsky!
Yea, verily! But who’s this “Naravone” of whom you speak?
Peter Greenaway’s (at the time) cutting edge use of digital manipulation to tell The Tempest through an exploration of Prospero’s (fictional) Books, which give him his Magick is still breathtaking. And it was unavailable for years on any post-VHS format.
And its gives us Sir John Gielgud in a lifelong ambition; playing Prospero on film.

“O, wonder, @Buckaroo
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in’t!”

So first a movie that I haven’t seen (First Man), and now a movies that I hated. I absolutely adore “The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover” and “Drowning by Numbers”. I like very much “The Belly of an Architect”. I find a lot of good things in The Draughtsman’s Contract. But boy oh boy, do I hate Prospero’s book! It seems made for the 20"20 game though, great pictures!
Next 20:20 coming as soon as I find a movie that’s not on the list and that I have here with me!
I wandered into it mid-screening at the on-campus theater in film school. They were showing it for some class I wasn’t enrolled in. I had some time between my own classes so I settled into a chair and took it in. I found it quite beautiful at the time. That was more than twenty years ago; haven’t seen it since.
Tokyo Tribe.
I unfortunately watched it when it was a contestant in Qt3 Movie Club last year. In fact, it made me stop watching all nominees and made me stick just to the winners.

@Navaronegun, you’re quite good at this game, ain’t you? It is indeed Tokyo Tribe. I hope the DVD version comes with an aspirin tablet - this movie is exhausting to watch! I didn’t think possible to find it with the first frame. Well done! I will consider to start watching movies with a timer set at 20min20s, 40min40s etc.!
By the way, is the Qt3 Movie Club still alive? I came across it when I joined the community some weeks ago, and found the concept very interesting.
Here are the remaining frames:
40:40
60:60
80:80 (yes, this lovely fella is spitting at us. Sorry for the inconvenience. And after all, Gaspard Noe did worse in “Love” … )
100:100
“Qual é nosso Iema, @Navaronegun ? Quebrar, roubar e matar! Waru, waru, waru, waru!” (I don’t speak a word of Japanese, and had to watch it with Brazilian subtitles)
This Twenty wants Absolution.
