| Description: | Mystery and atmosphere, absurdity, psychological surrealism, and genre stylization are just a few of the topics we will examine in this course on contemporary auteur filmmakers. Auteur theory connects a director to a film in the same way an author is connected to a book; as the primary creative force that distinctly links a myriad of decisions and ideas into a unified vision. A film can be much more than a spectacle that momentarily entertains, it can serve as a window into the mind of a director and allow an audience to view the world in imaginative, challenging, and unexpected new ways. Through screenings, discussions, and essays we will analyze unique stylistic tonalities, thematic preoccupations, and philosophical perspectives that define auteur films and the directors who create them. In doing so, students will develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the medium and its limitless possibilities. |
