ALL1437-Z Second 6 Weeks Tuesdays 10:30-11:50 Start Date 9-Sep
Zoom Limit 15
One might be inclined to think that Scandinavian cinema begins and ends in Sweden with Ingmar Bergman, but that would be a mistake. The Scandinavian Peninsula has produced a number of internationally acclaimed movies (Denmark has more Academy Awards for Best Picture than Sweden). Though no discussion would be complete without including Bergman, in this six-movie series, we will look at two movies each from Sweden, Denmark and Norway. We will discuss the society, directors, actors and genres in our analysis of the movies. Participants will watch films online through streaming platforms or on DVD, and join a Zoom session for group discussions. Please watch Through a Glass Darkly by Ingmar Bergman prior to the first meeting. It is currently available on MAX and Criterion Channel with a subscription, and available for rent on Prime and Apple.
