Meets with CWL 324. STUDENTS INTERESTED IN TAKING THIS COURSE SHOULD ENROLL IN RUSS 320. What happens to the narratives of the two greatest Russian novelists of the nineteenth century in translation from one artistic medium to another? A select, comparative survey of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, in which readings (in English) are accompanied by screenings of their best (and excerpts from a few of their most outrageous) cinematic renditions from around the world. Films by Russian, Asian, and Western filmmakers, such as Kurosawa, Bertolucci, Bresson, Bodrov, Walkow, the Taviani brothers, Woody Allen. What can we learn about each individual medium through this juxtaposition? What happens to Tolstoy and Dostoevsky when they are translated from their original cultural and historical contexts into other, often quite alien, ones, including our own? Freshmen welcome. No Russian required. 3 units. Additional optional evening screenings to be scheduled (those films will also be on reserve at the Undergraduate Library).
