In this class, we delve into the film movements that have shaped contemporary European cinema. Starting with the birth of "the seventh art" in France, we journey through the pivotal moments of film history across Europe, spanning from approximately 1900 to 1960. Along the way, we examine the impact of visionary directors and analyze samples of their work. Much like other art forms, understanding the evolution of cinema is essential to fully appreciating its artistry.

The-Lost-Honor-of-Katharina-Blum.pdf
When a young woman spends the night with an alleged terrorist, her quiet, ordered life falls into ruins. THE LOST HONOR OF KATHARINA BLUM portrays an anxious era in West Germany amid a crumbling postwar political consensus. Katharina, though apparently innocent, suddenly becomes a suspect, falling prey to a vicious smear campaign by the police and a ruthless tabloid journalist that tests the limits of her dignity and her sanity. Crafting one of the most accessible and direct works of 1970s political filmmaking, Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta deliver a powerful adaptation of Heinrich Böll’s novel, a stinging commentary on state power, individual freedom, and media manipulation that is as relevant today as when it was released.
