ACROSS

6The planet destroyed by Earthlings in Cottafavi's TV adaptation of Operazione Vega
8The film which Les Contrebandières is named after
9Eye-to-eye with us, he winks
10The dreamiest Cancer
11The best contemporary American filmmaker, par Luc Moullet
13The misplaced Taurus
15Brecht said the actor should always be three steps behind this
16The most secretive of all Scorpios
18The autodidact's awkward engine stutter
21Those who perceive fire as divine intervention

DOWN

1The empiricist without common sense
2A member of the flamboyant horde of impudent greats
3Enemy of Cahiers and Cottafavi
4A man of poetry, par Luc Moullet
5One who finds freedom in prison
7A loyal, yet absent pup
8Cottafavi's shield against post-production butchery
12Subject of the next Narrow Margin issue
14Esteemed French filmmaker who positively reviewed Traviata 53 (1953)
15In Toujour moins (2010), Moullet battles this machine-- and loses
17A genre of swords and sandals
19Something which Moullet is often poor at providing
20Il taglio del bosco (1963), Incontro con il padre (1974), and Maria Zef (1981) follow this rhythm
