Credit(s): 3
This course explores world cinema through genre, contrasting international films to popular American ones. Major genre comparisons include “the warrior hero,” “the wedding film,” “the horror film,” and “the road movie,” with special focus on the films of China, India, Japan, and Latin America. Overall, the course is an introduction to the global traditions of film, emphasizing the universal nature of cinema while at the same time examining regional-based cultural differences. It includes an examination of the language of film analysis along with a survey of developments in world-wide cinema. Films are analyzed not just culturally, but through universal lenses that include post-colonialism, feminism, and Marxism.
