5 credit hours

A study of one of the most controversial of great film directors, one whose films were time and again attacked by critics who, five years later, were hailing them as masterpieces. Whether his films were original stories or adaptations from other media, they consistently embodied his superlative control and obsessive perfectionism. The course will include such films as Spartacus, Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Lolita, and The Shining. ST
