Central European Cinema. A knowledge of Russian is not required. Cinema has played a crucial critical role in the socialist countries of Central Europe during the last three decades. The best cinema of these periods presents a remarkably frank and rich portrait of these societies often more critical than would be allowed in journalistic prose or in literature. The course will address the possibilities of film language as they have revealed themselves in the specific social, political, cultural, and ideological context of Central Europe.
