GER 406 - The City in German Cineman Course Units: 1 Even in its earliest forms, world cinema has taken as one of its primary tasks the portrayal of the city. The vibrancy, pathos, humor and mystery of urban life have provided both subject matter and vehicle for the aspirations and innovations of film directors worldwide. Ranging from the poetic and fanciful to the gritty and earthy, German cinema has captured the city - as both place and as concept, and in genres ranging from SciFi and crime drama to documentary and fantasy - as perhaps no other national cinema. During this course, we will come to know several iconic examples from German cinema, analyzing the various ways that the city features centrally in these film classics, spanning the 20th century. Prerequisite(s): GER 300-level course or permission of the instructor. CC: JCHF, JLIT, JWOL, WAC ISP: FLM
