Despite one director’s tongue-in-cheek dismissal of foreign cinema (“I make movies. Leave filmmaking to the French!”), we will discuss films that indeed include foreign locations, subtitles, and boast as being some of the best movies ever made. We will consider how foreign films differ from their American counterparts in style, tone, sensibility, and more. NOTE: OLLI members needn't have taken Foreign Films to enjoy Foreign Films: Part 2, whose new round-up will include La Strada, A Man and a Woman, The Vanishing, Rashomon, and The Seventh Seal.
This course will meet in person October 18, 25, November 1, 8, and 15.
