The following items are in order of viewing and reading, with cinematic works listed first, followed by the texts. My guess is that the texts will prove especially helpful as you work on your papers, allowing you to set the course readings in the context of the larger work. Remember that the cinematic and televisual works are required viewing; if you miss the Monday screening, then you are expected to watch what you missed in advance of class the following day. | ||
