I think it's scandinavian. I think. Maybe.
Dunno what movie, though.

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

Random Asian film that not many people have seen.

*yawn*

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

No, trust me, this is on a lot of best-of-all-time lists.

I'm not sure if you missed this post, it being the last of the previous page, but it pretty much matches your hints.

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

I did see it, though I hope you noticed that I said trinity, not trilogy.

I didn't notice. Oops.

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

It has a Criterion edition.

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

I thought it was Seven Samurai. I tried looking through the list of all Criterion films, and it was the only black & white Asian film I'd seen.

Is it Asian at all?

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

The Hidden Fortress
Toho
Japan
1958

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

Nope, nope, nope.

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

I'll try with this:
The Virgin Spring
Directed by Ingmar Bergman
Has a Criterion Edition
It's Black and White

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

More hints. Is it Asian or not?

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

I thought he already said no, didn't he?

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

He didn't say it's not, he didn't say it is though.

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

He said "nope, nope, nope"

Re: Guess the Film! (Game)

You could have narrowed down that list easily, you know.

It's Ugetsu, which I really recommend watching. My hint to "complete the trinity" was based on the notion of Ozu, Kurosawa and Mizoguchi being the three great early postwar Japanese directors, which may or may not be accurate.
