Reading Western European Cinema: Love, Anger, Grief and Trauma (WEUR-W406)
Summer Session I | 1:10-2:25 Mon - Fri
Course carries College A&H Credit
This course will investigate the use of fundamental emotions within contemporary Western European cinema. By using a wide range of theoretical tools such as psychoanalysis, feminist theory, film theory and disability theory, students will try to understand, critique and develop insights from major European directors such as Almodovar, Haneke, Fassbinder, and Von Trier. The class will focus on learning to interpret movies as "social documents" that address emotional and social realities of Western Europe.
