Film Adaptation

Catalog description

In this hybrid literature/film course that considers the two genres as they intersect, advanced students will have the opportunity to formulate their own opinions about the impact of the motion picture on narrative. Grounding their work in an understanding of the history, culture, vocabulary, and field of film study, students will analyze a variety of film adaptations. Students will consider each film as a new aesthetic entity alongside its original literary source material. The readings for this course include advanced theory and criticism.
