Hi all, sounds like me and Chuck are up to the same game, except mine are second year undergraduates, we look at Bordwell, Branigan, Bellour all filtered through the recognition of the cinema as a profoundly political medium. Isn't 'His Girl Friday' a brilliant political satire? You'd never know if you read Bordwells analysis in 'Narration In The Fiction Film' but you would learn a lot about Hawks' style and that in itself is extremely important. Oh! and by the way I still think "Punch Drunk Love' and 'The Science Of Sleep' owe more to Godard than to, lets say, Preminger! peace alan A.
