In this course, we’ll take a look at six films that seem worthy because of the interesting nature of their themes, issues, storytelling, and acting. Students will receive notes before each class with suggestions regarding what to look for when watching the film. After the lecture, there will be a discussion about the different elements of the film and whether or not it should be considered a work of art. The class aims for the fun, vitality, and warmth of friends sharing a conversation about a great film they’ve just seen. Note: more information about the films will be provided as the term approaches.
