This course is a survey of the history and development of European cinema from its origins to the present. We will explore Weimar Cinema, Soviet Montage, Surrealism, Italian NeoRealism, French New Wave, German New Cinema, and Post-Franco Spanish Cinema.
All films are sub-titled and the course is taught in English.
Competency in film analysis as well as an understanding of the history and development of European cinema constitute the criteria. No late work will be accepted without medical dispensation. Entries shall include both personal critical reflections and critical analysis of at least two aspects of the film. Students are encouraged to view each film twice. Some films are also available in the Language Acquisition Center on the 3rd Floor of Trimble Hall and may be viewed there.
