Primary goals: This course is an introductory survey of classic
films. Emphasis falls equally on cultural and on artistic matters:
on films as anthropological and historical artifacts that articulate
the values and assumptions of specific societies and eras and on
films as works of art. The course aims to sharpen students' analytic
skills, to give them a sense of the history and cultural significance
of movies, and to improve their writing.
DVDs of all required films may be borrowed
from the Film Office, 14N-428, to help students prepare for exams
and papers.
