|
*Paris on Film*
In this course we will focus on the representation of Paris in French cinema. In the first part of the course we will study different time periods and cinematic styles: the Poetic Realism of the 1930s (Marcel Carné’s /Hotel du Nord/), the New Wave of the late 1950s and early 1960s (Agnès Varda’s /Cléo de 5 à 7/), and the /banlieue/ films of the 1990s (Mathieu Kassovitz’s /La Haine/). In the second part of the course we will look at influences and novelties in 21st century films, including Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s /Amélie/, Cédric Klapisch’s /Paris/, and Julie Delpy’s /2 Days in Paris/. We will also examine a few representations of Paris in American cinema, such as Minelli’s /An American in Paris/ (1951) and Woody Allen's /Midnight in Pari/s (2011).
