ICIN226 — Film As Social Critique
This course is an exploration of the use of the medium of film as social critique. The films, directors, and cinematic movements being viewed and discussed will include those that are explicitly critical of society (such as films by the directors Costa-Gavros, Bunuel, Altman, Schlorndorff, Fassbinder, Godard, and Syderberg), as well as those that are less explicity or implicity critical (such as films by Sirk, Forman, Penn, Haynes, and Van Sant).
