This course provides students with valuable insights and skills through an in-depth analysis of the key issues the film explores, whilst sharpening their film analysis skills by becoming familiar with this masterpiece by M. Kassovitz. Each lesson will be an opportunity for a critical analysis of an aspect of the film, as well as essay writing practice.
