Movie Matinees: Capturing
The Past |
 What do we discover in historical films?
Perhaps it's the sense of being alive during a particular time or
event or, participating in a nearly mythic moment, all to understand
it better. We do this by connecting
with delineated characters in detailed contexts as created by
remarkable directors, actors and crews.
Films being considered to explore how these creations of the past
affect us are DeSica's General Della
Rovere, Nair's Vanity Fair, Ford's The Searchers,
Gavras' Z, Sturges' The Great Escape, Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, Levinson's Good Morning Vietnam,
Szab's Mephisto and Cornelius' Genvieve.
Please note that the movies listed are a sampling of films being
considered for viewing and are screened
at the teacher's discretion.
Returning students please note that
class will meet 10 minutes earlier this semester |
