ENGL 189D SC: Genre: The Art Film

In the 50s and 60s, foreign films became a cultural phenomenon in the United States. They were seen as works of art, in contrast to the “products” of the Hollywood “factory.” We will study these films in terms of their reception in American culture. Works by Bergman, Fellini, Kurosawa, Buñuel, Godard, Ray, and others. Instructor: J. Peavoy [Media History]
