Great Films / Great Directors Series with Marc Lapadula: Class Three BLADE RUNNER Sat Feb 20
CLASS DESCRIPTION
This course will look at a range of films from some of cinema's most ambitious directors. Interested in accomplishing much more than merely entertaining their audiences, these individuals created compelling films that were simultaneously layered with rich subtexts. As a class, we focus on a single film for each class meeting as we attempt to decipher what these filmmakers were really attempting to say about the controversial state of the world and the viewer's precarious place in it. In each case we will examine the ways the filmmakers visualized and reworked the script. For those interested we will be screening the films in the morning (11:30am) and the lecture will take place in the afternoon (2:30pm).
The films examined are listed below:
REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (Nicholas Ray, 1955) Sat Feb 6 // $50
CHINATOWN (Roman Polanski, 1974) Sat Feb 13 // $50
BLADE RUNNER (Ridley Scott, 1982) Sat Feb 20 // $50
TICKETS FOR EACH CLASS SESSION ARE SOLD SEPARATELY AT $50 EACH.
