About
This 7-week course celebrates the synergy between two film centers through one U.S. Latino and three Mexican directors: Rodríguez, Cuarón, González Iñárritu, and del Toro. New uses of old genres; kitsch and melodrama in the U.S. versus México; adaptation; the independent cinema world; multi-plot narrative cinema. Discussion sections either in English or in Spanish. For letter-grade credit, students will write some response papers and a final 5-7pp. paper.
