FREN 75.02 Toward a History of French Cinema

France gave birth to cinema in 1895. Since then, French cinema has influenced not only French society, but filmmakers around the world. In this course, we will explore silent masterpieces, New Wave film, and movies of the 21st century to examine the evolution of French film and its impact on French culture. Our analyses will include in-class film excerpts and a selection of movies that will be available to you on DVD or to stream.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
