FNAR 6305 - From Sunrise to Psycho: Form and Meaning in the Cinema
Credits: 3
Examines the evolution of cinematic methods of expression, from the end of the silent era, through the transition to sound and the subsequent development of the movie industry, to 1960. Students screen and closely examine sequences from 14 masterpieces of world cinema, beginning with F.W. Murnau’s great silent film “Sunrise” (1927) and concluding with Jean-Luc Godard’s “A Bout de Souffle (Breathless)” and Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” (1960). Selected readings and screenings of short sequences from other relevant films explore the economic, social, and cultural context for these major artistic achievements. May be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: humanities; communication, media, and technology; arts and cultural traditions.
