Film has become more spectacle and less art amidst digital effects and pyrotechnics. We can rediscover how visually evocative and meaningful cinema can be by looking at and discussing some of the best photographed and edited films in screen history. Here are the six films we are likely to examine: "Bride of Frankenstein" (USA, 1935); "The Third Man" (England 1950); "Days of Heaven" (USA, 1978); "Blade Runner" (USA, 1982); "Amélie" (French, 2001); and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" (Great Britain, 2003).

This study group for adults 50+ meets Fridays, October 2 – November 6.

Instructor Ira Konigsberg is Professor Emeritus of Film at U of M.
