Section Info:
This English department-based cinema-studies course analyzes selected films made in the last sixty-five years in the U.S. from key critical approaches including perspectives on authorship, genre, narrative, gender and racial representation, and the impact of spectacle. While it does not offer a film historical survey, the course addresses a range of latter 20th?early 21st century cinematic developments in the context of major transitions in the American film industry and in society. Among the trends we will examine are the dominant stylistic and ideological models of classical Hollywood and the shift away from those during the late 1960s; the emergence of the New Hollywood in the 1970s with its stylistic eclecticism and emphasis on formulaic blockbusters; and the typical Hollywood ways of representing key social issues such as race. Requirements: scrupulously regular attendance of the twice-weekly class meetings and the required weekly film lab from 5-7:30 p.m. (even if the film is widely available); systematic, thorough reading of the substantial course packet of essays and book excerpts; frequent quizzes; and two medium-length analytic essays.
