Course overview
Course description
A friendly and accessible exploration of five great films from International directors – all directors with established careers in their own countries yet are better known for their work on the international market. Jane Campion, Win Wenders, Ang Lee, Peter Weir and Luc Besson. We question why this might be and what, perhaps, universal and more specific elements these directors bring to their films which appeals to both audiences and critics on a global scale. Is it really just a case of what appeals to critics and judging panels at award ceremonies? Or have they established the knack of making otherwise niche or ‘art house’ cinema appeal to broader audiences? Is this in itself a challenge for these directors? This course promotes knowledge, understanding of the subject focus an also appreciation of cinema in general.
