Class Description

This class, taught in English, with movies in English subtitles, introduces students to the history of French (and francophone) cinema. While emphasizing formal analysis, we will approach cinema as one of the key cultural technologies that has shaped our contemporary ways of imagining race, class, gender, sexuality, love, the family, the nation, friendship, and life under capitalism.
