ENG3310-002 Spring - Nooney

This course draws on writer and director Paul Schrader’s concept of “Transcendental Style” (e.g., films that express phenomena “beyond normal sense experience”) and applies that framework to a survey of genres, including character drama, horror, neo-noir, and Schrader’s own “man in a room” sub-genre. This course will focus on the relationship between film and other visual and “plastic” arts, as well as cross-genre comparisons of cinematic visuality.
