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.
