Mafia 47. Battle of Movie Heroes

Rejoice, Jack, there’s another possible solution.

“Death and the Maiden” is a film directed by Polanski.

Let’s look at his page. I can’t apply my favorite numbers here, so let’s move on.

All the way to the filmography.

And we see...

1972 — What?

Jackpot?

The problem is that it’s quite difficult to trace the chain back. Let’s say I’m the GM, okay?
The maniac – What? I enter his nickname into Google. Among a bunch of useless links, in the middle of the page, I see a link to a wiki about the film, and it has a question mark.
Okay, we go to the film’s page, we choose the director.
And that’s where the guesswork begins.
Why did Spear, out of all possible options, decide to link the clue specifically to “Death and the Maiden”? Was it random? Did he just like the title? Does he simply like the film?

In short, this option seems more elegant to me, but at the same time, it seems more far-fetched.
