In this course, we’ll look at six films of special interest because of the engaging nature of their themes, issues, storytelling, and acting. Before each class, students will receive notes regarding what to look for when they watch the film. After the lecture, there will be a discussion of the film’s elements and whether or not the piece merits its designation as a work of art. The class aims to foster the fun, vitality, and warmth of friends sharing a conversation about a great film they’ve just seen. (Please note: Films will not be screened during class time. The list of films that students will watch will be provided before the start of the course.)
