Criterion New Year's Doodle 2019

[KJones77]

and what's with the Chutes & Ladders(?) board game?

A Reddit user said Bruno Dumont's La vie de Jesus (Jesus holding a "V" playing the board game Life).

[sinemadelisikiz]

Maybe a stretch, but the S balloon could be The Heiress (Air-S).

[Lars Von Truffaut]

Even more of a stretch... 19 stars in the Orion constellation... "Beetlejuice"?

The Coke-r Trilogy

Where are we getting the “r” to make this work?

Why are there euro symbols on the baby carriers? Also the "one sings" character has a very distinctive look.

EDIT: looks a bit like Cary Grant in BUB, but not entirely

Euro-Pa Euro-Pa

Ha! Good call!

Where are you seeing 9 to 5 and Hedwig?

And if they are releasing Hedwig, would the bunny not also refer to Rabbit Hole?

[DRW.mov]

I feel like the board game makes sense with the smiling Angel as Funny Games.

[mteller]

Hedwig = owl in the tree (as in, the Harry Potter owl)
Inch = inchworm

But those clues are redundant ("V" and Life)! I want my Criterion doodle to be maximally efficient.

Europa Europa?

I just figured out where you were getting this from... I like it, though I hope that a von Trier Europa upgrade might be folded in as well.

Hedwig- world’s most famous owl.
And the Angry Inch(worm)

The rabbit is clearly paired with the peas- Warren Peace (War and Peace)

Also HEDWIG is a cult touchstone and RABBIT HOLE is not

[KJones77]

Maybe a reach but clock time = After Hours? The clock is a few minutes after the hour.

Are we sure the clock is saying 9 to 5? Would they have said 4:51 if they meant 9 to 5?

[ShempTCat]

I was wondering if the two men holding the babies could also represent Children of Men?

[geoffcowgill]

The Coke bottles are probably the Koker Trilogy, but my first thought was that there were One, Two, Three of them, as in the Wilder film.

[ianungstad]

stolen from the bluray.com forums but the two men with babies is probably Children of Men; which is why the Arrow release was UK only.

Diamonds in the sky - DIAMONDS OF THE NIGHT

I feel silly now that my first thought was Help.

[Chief Brody]

Coca-Cola. James Cagney works for the Coca-Cola Company in Billy Wilder's...One, Two, Three

[criterionoop]

The Coke bottles are probably the Koker Trilogy, but my first thought was that there were One, Two, Three of them, as in the Wilder film.

ONE, TWO, THREE was released by Kino last year.

[Chief Brody]

Or... The Coca-Cola Kid by Dušan Makavejev

[jwd5275]

The Heiress (Air 'S')

[criterionsnob]

Cane shaped sled = Citizen Kane?

I buy Citizen Kane "Cane Sled" as confirmation of Spine #1000, although Bamboozled is very clever. Must be a double clue.
