This course presents an in-depth examination of the work of a major formalist from the beginning of his career to the end. Emphasis will be on detailed analysis of the relationship between form and content. Students will examine various theoretical approaches to the work and do their own analyses of the individual films on a shot-by-shot basis. Comparisons to other major figures such as Otto Preminger and Fritz Lang will be included.
