INTL315

This course introduces students to the specific forms of French cinema at different periods. A selection of films, exemplifying great French directors (Carne, Gance, Renoir, Resnais, Truffaut, etc.) will be discussed in their historical, social, and artistic contexts. The language and culture aspects of these productions will also be stressed. The films will be shown with English subtitles. Both French and English may be used in class activities. Students who choose to do all their essays and papers in French may use their credits as part of the French minor.
