SPN.3012 Spanish Literature and Film
This course considers the complex relationships between film, literature, and the arts in 20th century Spanish culture. We survey Spanish film from the silent era surrealist masterpieces of Luis Bunuel to the post-modern deconstruction of comedy and melodrama in the works of Pedro Almodovar. Topics include film adaptations of novels and plays, the cinematic narrative of avant-garde authors, and the integration of the cinematic apparatus in the text.
