Toadfish Monastery

I am pretty sure not to know that movie (as predicted).
I assume it is not Buena Vista Social Club.

Is the crumpet an allusion to the title (containg something like trumpet, strumpet etc.)
Final Trumpets?

The chap having tea looks like an out of work Bond villain, or an ex Tsar.

No allusion to the title yet, and beagle is right about the geographic area. As for who has seen it here possibly me and nobody else despite me seeing it on theatres and my wife finding the DVD on the library here in the States.

If that was his last crumpet, it is not an English film.

Good luck explaining the complexities of crumpet and tiffin to our overseas brethren.

I thought I had.

(or nicely rounded if you prefer).

I think Zono is showing us his home movies. We may be reduced to hangman on the title before long.  If even Swato doesn't know it we're doomed, doomed I tell you.

The last movie I posted proved that it had to be as obscure as it could be, so...

The trains and hats look 1920s/30s/40s/ but the ships look at least 70s and the later hair cut and T-shirts 90s onward.

Well, there were a number of movies I guessed correctly without ever having seen them. But my knowledge of Central and South American movies is especially thin.

Is it an adaption of some (officially) famous novel/paly etc. or something 'original'?

It is based on a novel. As to how famous is outside of the Spanish speaking world, I don't know.

Is that a parrot in the foreground of the train interior photo?

Yup, a tricolor macaw (OMG! I forgot the parrot of the day!)

Emma Zunz?

Nope.

Was the film made by a South American company or is it 'Spain' Spanish?

South American production, some funding from all over.
