It’s a shame we were deprived of a Wacky Menstrual Cup if it is indeed for Diva

Clearly a SEX AND THE CITY box set.
But yeah, DIVA.

I may have to withdraw my guess. Someone elsewhere made an excellent guess that isn’t so on the nose.
Paul Mazursky’s An Unmarried Woman (1978).

Which is Fox, so plausible and a better fit for reading the image literally

Which reminds me : Peter Becker mentioned they were thinking of compiling all these clues into a small booklet, though they also don't know yet if what they'd do with it (sell it ? include it in a release ? give it to guests ?).

So we’d finally get to settle the ill-sore-possum debate definitively? That’s no fun.

I don't think this is it, but it's a clever guess.

Unmarried Woman had a recent 4K restoration and is unavailable on any streaming service, so that'd be a welcome addition, if only for Clayburgh's terrific performance.

It's a good movie and the DVD has been OOP for many years, so it'd be a welcome release

My first thought was that this was Diana Ross singing Stop In The Name Of Love so that it was a movie called In The Name Of (something)
Her hand is backwards though

Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
I first saw this at an unlikely preview screening at a University of Chicago extension course on New German Cinema (Fassbinder, Wenders, Herzog) taught by Roger Ebert in the late 70s. Ebert appeared one evening and announced he'd gotten permission to screen Unmarried Woman, which he'd just seen and was crazy about, for the class. That film was a formative experience in my impression of NYC, where I moved a year later. Having watched it recently after living here for forty years, it's a remarkably vivid time capsule of the city during that period, with a nearly unrecognizable Soho.It's a good movie

Plus, Diva was a Criterion laserdisc.DeprongMori wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 11:32 amI’m in for Diva. That’s definitely Beyoncé (though from her “Single Ladies” video), and she does have a hit song called “Diva”.
Besides, Criterion recently released Beineix’s Betty Blue and his hit debut film (which also introduced the “Cinema du look”) doesn’t have a decent home video release anywhere.

If he was doing Diva, he should have drawn Beyonce's weirdo glasses from that video. It makes more sense to look at clues related to "Single Ladies"

This is an EXACT drawing of Beyoncé’s wardrobe and weird metal arm thing from “Single Ladies”.

Re: Criterion Newsletter: Clues and More, Volume Four
Beyonce is a modern example of a diva, why are we collectively overthinking this - even if she didn't have a song called "Diva," this would be a pretty obvious clue (in my opinion - I'm not gonna lock the thread until everyone's ready)

I'm convinced and not convinced. After Betty Blue it seems natural that Diva would follow; but then, would we really need a hint to figure that out?

So Criterion is going to announce Diva in a month or two and then seven or eight months after that they'll announce An Unmarried Woman.

That probably depends on whether you've ever seen The Man with the Golden Arm... or a man.
